On Thursday, March 23, the NEZLAMNI National Rehabilitation Center of the First Medical Association of Lviv will open a prosthetics workshop designed for 10 workplaces. This will make it possible to manufacture and install a hundred prostheses per month.<\/p>\n
The team of prosthetists has already been joined by patients who lost limbs due to the war, in particular, military personnel. Accreditation for the event for mass media continues until 09:00 on March 23.<\/p>\n

Among the participants of the event: Andrii Sadovy, mayor of Lviv; Oleg Samchuk, general director of the First Medical Association of Lviv; Nazar Bagnyuk, head of the prosthetics department of the NEZLAMNI center; Iryna Zaslavets, head of the NEZLAMNI project; Ilya Pylypenko, a patient of the NEZLAMNI center; Shamil Vagabov, a patient of the NEZLAMNI center; Volodymyr Darmostuk, a patient of the NEZLAMNI center; Volodymyr Spivak, Director of Corporate Communications and Public Relations of Nestl\u00e9 in Ukraine and Moldova; Iryna Krekhovych, head of the Nestl\u00e9 beverage business in Ukraine and Moldova; Nataliya Bolibrukh, head of the Lviv branch of the “Zaporuka” fund.<\/p>\n
Note that the area of the workshop premises is 250 m\u00b2. The workshop consists of a plaster room, where plaster negatives will be made, rooms with ovens and machines, where billets will be made, as well as a fitting and training room. The new workshop, like the previous “mobile laboratory” that started working in the NEZLAMNI Center in September, is equipped with equipment from one of the best manufacturers in the world – the German company Ottobock.<\/p>\n
The center’s team consists of eight specialists. These are both prosthetists with many years of work experience and young specialists. Among them is Ilya Pylypenko, a tank driver who lost his leg in battle. The defender is being treated at the NEZLAMNI center. Soon he will receive a prosthesis, and then, after completing training, he will help others like himself. Also, the center has 6 more vacancies for prosthetists.<\/p>\n
To motivate patients, photos of indomitable Ukrainians who have already received prostheses at the center hang on the walls of the prosthetic workshop. It should be noted that more than a hundred prostheses have been installed since September, ten of which are bionic hand prostheses.<\/p>\n
It is possible to open a prosthetics workshop thanks to the help of donors. In particular, the NESCAF\u00c9\u00ae brand of the Nestl\u00e9 company donated UAH 3.5 million for the renovation of the premises. The equipment was purchased thanks to the funds of the American organization The Global Jewish 9-1-1 and BF “Zaporuka”. The equipment was transported from Germany by the Meest company.<\/p>\n

The UNBROKEN National Rehabilitation Center is a unique place where adults and children affected by the war receive comprehensive qualified medical care. This is reconstructive surgery, orthopedics and robotic prosthetics. Victims are not only fitted with prostheses, they are made here. In addition, the center deals with physical, psychological and psychosocial rehabilitation of injured military personnel and civilians. The project is implemented by the First Medical Association of Lviv and the Lviv City Council with the support of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The NEZLAMNI center launched the direction of prosthetics last year, opening a mobile workshop. It, together with equipment and components from the German company “Ottobock”, was provided by the Maltese Aid Service with the support of the Government of Germany and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Together with the workshop, the NEZLAMNI center received 200 prostheses.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
