Project description:

The Superhumans Center is an all-Ukrainian medical center for Ukrainians with complex war injuries. The center provides prosthetics, rehabilitation, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment and reconstructive surgery free of charge.

Superhumans use a comprehensive approach to treatment and strive to change the perception and psychological approach towards Ukrainians who have suffered complex injuries and lost limbs. Prostheses will be assembled here; a prosthetics laboratory has been created with the participation of the leading German company Ottobock, which will make it possible to have a stock of materials for the accelerated production of prostheses.

Aequo’s role in providing pro bono services to Superhumans:

1. Legal support of operational issues, financial projects; tax-operational issues, etc.
2. Legal issues in launching the main line of business – a rehabilitation center for veterans in Lviv.

Facts & figures of the project:

During 4.5 months of the center’s work, 158 prostheses were installed. Some of the patients received two and in some cases of three new limbs. The capacity of the institution is 50 patients per month. However, due to the huge demand (over 500 applications on the waiting list for prosthetics), the Superhumans team is not stopping there, expanding, looking for new specialists, increasing capacity, and planning to open new centers in 6 Ukrainian regions by 2025.
