RECOVERY is the biggest network of rehabilitation centres for wounded soldiers in Ukraine. The project was founded by Victor and Olena Pinchuk to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Key objectives of the RECOVERY project
- Creating a national network of rehabilitation centres for wounded soldiers;
- Sending severely wounded soldiers abroad for complex prosthetics;
- World-class educational programmes for multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams.
At present, 13 RECOVERY rehabilitation centers offer free services in Kyiv, Lviv, Rivne, Lutsk, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, two facilities in Odesa and three — in Dnipro region.
The facilities adhere to international standards of inclusiveness and technology, with physical rehabilitation spaces featuring virtual reality equipment that provides valuable feedback to patients. The array of simulators and rehabilitation devices addresses a spectrum of functional disorders, including those resulting from mine-blast injuries, facilitating a technologically advanced restoration process for the wounded.
Multidisciplinary teams of medical professionals, including specialists in physical rehabilitation medicine, physical therapists, occupational therapists, massage therapists, assistants, speech therapists, and psychologists, operate within the centers. Their high-tech equipment and qualifications ensure the provision of high-quality, affordable, and evidence-based rehabilitation care for Ukrainian defenders.
The founders of the RECOVERY project, Victor and Olena Pinchuk, plan to expand the network to at least 18 innovative rehabilitation centres, where about 25,000 servicemen can recover annually.
