War Amputee Help Open Organization is dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals who have experienced limb loss due to conflict. We focus on facilitating access to comprehensive medical care, cutting-edge prosthetics, and rehabilitative services. Our commitment to collaboration drives us to connect the best international practices with the growing needs of Ukrainian hospitals and rehabilitation centers.
We currently have two active projects:
​
-
Global Medical Network Project for Comprehensive Rehabilitation Support
This initiative seeks to establish partnerships between world-renowned medical institutions and hospitals across Ukraine. By sharing knowledge, expertise, and resources, we aim to improve surgical procedures, prosthetic services, and post-operative care for war amputees. Our goal is to foster sustainable relationships that continue to benefit patients long after initial collaborations end. In tandem with our global partnerships, we work directly with Ukrainian rehabilitation centers to develop advanced physical and occupational therapy programs. We strive to equip each facility with updated technologies, modern treatment protocols, and training opportunities for local healthcare professionals. Ultimately, we want to ensure every amputee has access to the highest level of care, close to home. -
Specialized Care in the US for Complex Cases
In some situations, Ukrainian amputees face particularly complex or difficult-to-manage conditions. When local medical professionals encounter challenges or uncertain prognoses, we work to bring these individuals to leading medical institutions in the United States. By providing access to top-tier specialists, advanced surgical techniques, and cutting-edge prosthetic solutions, we strive to give each patient the best possible outcome. The experience also creates a valuable knowledge exchange: Ukrainian healthcare providers gain insight into innovative treatments, while US experts learn from the realities of conflict-related trauma.
Through these two projects, War Amputee Help Open Organization is building a powerful support system—one that unites international medical leaders, local hospitals, and compassionate donors. We invite individuals, corporations, and philanthropic organizations to join our mission. Your support will help us give amputees renewed independence, mobility, and hope for a brighter future.
