Ukraine
About the Area
War in Ukraine since 2014 has caused a vast amount of both military personnel and civilians to be critically injured and lose limbs. It is estimated that currently 100,000+ people need a prosthetic device so they will have the ability to walk again. That number grows daily. LimbFit has partnered with a Ukrainian organization called Maximum to help address this need. Working together, we have built a brand-new prosthetic lab and clinic in the city of Zolotonosha where Maximum is located. With this new facility, we care for and treat those in need of a prosthetic device-one patient at a time.
In addition to Maximum, we have developed partnerships with Cherkasy Regional Hospital and Cherkasy Medical Academy because we assessed the need to educate and train surgeons and medical professionals in advanced surgical techniques and proper wound care. This helped us develop the Medical Education & Training division of LimbFit. Since 2023 we have held multiple conferences led by top medical educators from the US both in person and virtually to advance surgeons and medical professionals in the care and treatment they provide to those that have been injured from the current war. We continue to push for this advancement and moving forward, we are planning to bring surgeons at the top of their field to help educate and train surgeons in all of the country.
