A medical tool for saving the limbs of Ukrainians

     We continue to assist Ukrainian hospitals in providing medical instruments, prostheses, and bone implants for limb surgeries for military and civilian personnel.

Power medical instruments (saws and drills) are needed for complex reconstructive surgeries, which allow patients to avoid amputation and save limbs.

In October 2024, Oleksandr, a restaurant waiter from Kyiv, suffered a serious shoulder injury during a massive attack on Kyiv.

     Passersby used a belt to stop the bleeding and took Oleksandr to the hospital.

Over the course of 1.5 months, Oleksandr underwent 7 surgeries. During the healing process, the wound became infected due to the lack of high-quality surgical instruments and materials. Doctors discouraged the patient from further surgeries and persistently suggested amputating his forearm. Thanks to our timely help, Oleksandr was fitted with an elbow prosthesis. A year later, he returned to his job.

The funds that we were able to raise allowed us to purchase three more sets of medical instruments including saws and drills, special orthopedic devices, medications, and bone implants. 65 military and civilian personnel have already been operated on without complications, thanks to high-quality instruments and our wonderful orthopedic doctors.

We want to express our gratitude to all the sponsors who help us continue our important work.

The name of the patient was changed to protect his privacy.

During the full-scale invasion, Maria's family in the Kyiv region came under fire. Svitlana's husband was killed, and the woman suffered a complex injury to the lower part of her leg. All of the bones in her foot were crushed. Surgeons wanted to amputate the limb, but after a consultation it was decided that the foot could be saved. Svitlana underwent 20 surgeries in 2 years, and now she can move freely.
Because of war, the number of people with disabilities due to limb injuries in Ukraine may exceed 100,000. Each of them would require expensive and multi-year treatment by the state if we do not pay due attention to preserving limbs now. The task of our doctors is to reduce complications from injuries and the likelihood of limb amputation, and most importantly, to save lives. Our doctors need special tools, “medical weapons,” to perform complex operations to save the limbs of the wounded from amputation.
Over the summer, we managed to raise funds to purchase "medical weapons" - 9 cannulated drills and files, which we donated to 9 Ukrainian hospitals where orthopedic specialists perform complex surgeries. We also purchased consumables and instruments for surgeries on the limbs of wounded military personnel and civilians.

All this was made possible by the donations of caring sponsors who support Ukraine in difficult times and our courageous people, who continue to defend their independence with dignity.
We express our sincere gratitude to our sponsors.
