Stay with Ukraine: Centr endoprotez osteoinegr bioniki

Hi, it’s Reg_Bah and redbastarchew here.

Since you’re all aware of everything that is happening in jofandom and we believe you’re all aware about what is happening in Ukraine.

So we decided to start this fundraising to help a prosthetic centre , they desperately need money.

According to the Protez Foundation, around 59,000 Ukrainians need prosthetic limbs. They can cost $46,000 to $90,000 each, according to Ukraine’s Superhumans Rehabilitation Center. Dozens of Ukrainian clinics and different initiatives are involved in the rehabilitation of military and civilian amputees. Most rely on government programs and donations, but there isn’t enough money to go around.

In 2022, prostheses of the upper and lower limbs are provided to military personnel in the amount of more than UAH 64.5 million, in 2023 - in the amount of almost UAH 593.5 million.

The cost of a highly functional modular prosthetic leg, which allows you to run, squat, climb stairs - can reach up to UAH 200,000 or more, simpler models cost about UAH 60,000-100,000. The most expensive types of prosthesis are bionic - the cost of such starts from 1 million UAH – All-Ukrainian Center for Rehabilitation and Prosthetics Health.

That is, Ukraine need not hundreds of millions, but tens of billions of hryvnias to provide all Ukrainians with high-quality prostheses and if possible we would like to help a little.
