Steward Health Care Malta has just welcomed the first two Ukrainian soldiers who will be receiving treatment on the island as part of a Ukrainian amputee rehabilitation program.
The program is called Project Renew, and leading prosthetics provider Medical Center Orthotics & Prosthetics, Steward Health Care Malta, Steward Health Care International and the charitable foundation Future for Ukraine will be assisting up to 24 victims of the war in 2023.
Supported by the Maltese Government and the Ministry for Health, the program welcomed Vitaly Tarusin, 32, and Andriy Konovalov, 45.
They opened up about their wartime experiences and the treatment they are receiving in Malta. However, Vitaly and Andriy are just two of well over 3,000 Ukrainians who lost a limb in the war.
The two soldiers are being treated using an advanced care model developed by SHCM and MCOPi professionals which will provide them with prosthetic legs and therapy and training.
This will allow them to return to full function and even back home to Ukraine.
