A team of trauma surgeons at Dobrobut Medical Network will perform 10 reconstructive plastic surgeries on patients who were injured in the war and need prosthetics. The surgeries were made possible thanks to funding in the amount of UAH 550 thousand received by the Dobrobut Foundation from Raiffeisen Bank as part of the Ready for Prosthetics program.
According to The Wall Street Journal, over 1.5 years of full-scale war, about 50,000 Ukrainians have been disabled, losing at least one of their limbs. After amputation, many patients develop neuromas (nerve tumors), osteophytes (bone protrusions), and scars. All of this makes prosthetics impossible and requires additional surgical intervention - remputation or stump correction.
"Difficult times bring people together and create prerequisites for synergy between many companies. I like the idea that a company is only as alive as its usefulness to society. The Dobrobut Foundation team and I are sincerely grateful to our strategic partner Raiffeisen Bank for its systematic and critically important assistance to society. Thanks to this support, we will be able to return 10 Ukrainians to active life. Such results give us the strength to keep going and do everything possible to win!" says Dmitry Grossu, Director of Dobrobut Foundation.
"In times of war, every day becomes a test of strength and resilience for our society. There is no other way to withstand the external threat than to consolidate resources to ensure the Victory. Raiffeisen Bank's cooperation with Dobrobut is a vivid example of how business and medicine can work miracles together. Thanks to our joint efforts, we can give hope and new opportunities to those who have lost the most. We are sincerely grateful to the Dobrobut team for their dedication and professionalism," said Oksana Shevchenko, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Raiffeisen Bank.
Military or civilians who lost a limb as a result of hostilities can receive surgical care under the Ready for Prosthetics project. To apply for treatment, you need to fill out a form on the Dobrobut Foundation website.
