In three years, the Unbroken rehabilitation center has welcomed over 19,000 patients.

In just three years of operation, the National Rehabilitation Center Unbroken in Lviv has welcomed over 19,000 patients, including military personnel and civilians. This was announced by the city mayor Andriy Sadovyi during the annual report to the community, which took place on Friday, January 24.

According to Andriy Sadovyi, the first house for families of injured displaced persons – patients of Unbroken – will open in Lviv next week. Additionally, this year will see the construction of a new surgical building designed by the renowned Japanese architect Shigeru Ban.

“As of today, in our First Medical Association alone, we have already accepted over 19,000 wounded individuals, providing services of the highest level. These include quality surgeries and prosthetics. We have initiated many projects from scratch,” – said Andriy Sadovyi.

Andriy Sadovyi also announced the opening of another mental health center at St. Luke's Hospital, which will feature about 30 beds. Furthermore, the reconstruction of a building on Zamarsky Street is ongoing, where individuals who have experienced torture will undergo rehabilitation.

“Few people talk about this. Those who have endured torture can only share their experiences with someone they trust. We utilize art; people paint. This project is being supported by Flanders, and the mayor of Mechelen has actively participated. We plan to open this center in May,” – stated the mayor of Lviv.

There is also ongoing adaptation of an old clinic into a rehabilitation center in Bryukhovychi. This project is being implemented with the support of the Lithuanian government, GIZ, and the Japanese Red Cross. The reconstruction of the former building of the UOC-MP on Pekarska Street is being assisted by the government of Taiwan, which will also provide facilities for rehabilitation.
