Military personnel who chambered weapons during police stop in Ningo Prampram must face probe – Security analyst

A new center for prosthetics and adaptation, named GARTA, has opened in Lviv to assist both military personnel and civilians who have lost limbs. Maksym Kozytsky, head of Lviv Regional Military Administration, explained that the center provides modern prostheses, training on their use, and rehabilitation services. Kozytsky assured that the specialists at GARTA can help even in the most complex cases, such as individuals with high-level or bilateral amputations.

Since the onset of the full-scale war, nearly 4,000 people in the Lviv region have received prosthetic care, with around 4,500 prostheses manufactured and supplied locally. In the third quarter of this year alone, 377 individuals received such assistance. However, demand for prosthetics and rehabilitation remains high, with waiting lists for prostheses and a shortage of rehabilitation facilities in the region.

Kozytsky highlighted the presence of other centers in Lviv, such as Superhumans and UNBROKEN, which support people recovering from severe wounds and injuries. GARTA, which has been providing prosthetic care to Ukrainian military personnel since 2014, will now join these efforts. The center's team, including co-founder Andriy Riy, director Pavlo Khrystych, and their colleagues, worked diligently to establish GARTA.

The co-founder and director expressed gratitude to the company Forward-Ortho for fully equipping the center at its own expense. Kozytsky emphasized his aspiration for GARTA to become a place of strength in the Lviv region, providing not only professional care but also attention, support, and the opportunity to lead an independent life for those seeking help.
