Those with disabilities who were harmed by the conflict are receiving extensive rehabilitation from a medical department of the Dnipro Prosthetics Company, a press release reveals.
For the in-patient medical department at the Prosthetics Plant in Dnipro, Ukraine, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has purchased rehabilitation equipment with funding from the Government of Denmark. Individuals with impairments, including service members, are eligible for free medical evaluations and can start their thorough rehabilitation with the assistance of specialists.
The UN Recovery and Peacebuilding Programme Manager, Nils Christensen, underlined the need for individuals with disabilities to always have unrestricted access to medical care.
Christensen expressed his belief that the specialists working there would be able to assist a greater number of individuals who have been impacted by the war, owing to the provision of the equipment. He also mentioned that scaling up initiatives like this to a national level is crucial in the process of constructing a comprehensive and sustainable healthcare system in Ukraine that can cater to the needs of its citizens during and after the end of the war.
The medical facility offers mentoring, physical, and psychological support. Orthopaedic and traumatology doctors provide consultations, and skilled specialists might pursue professional training.
The UN Rehabilitation and Peacebuilding Programme was used to fund the acquisition and delivery of this equipment.
The United Nations Recovery and Peacebuilding Programme (UN RPP) is being implemented by four UN agencies, namely the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), who are working collaboratively towards this goal.
The EU, the European Investment Bank (EIB), the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, as well as the governments of Canada, Denmark, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland all support the program.
