Project Description

If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

As stated by the EBRD, Superhumans is a Ukrainian charitable organisation that provides comprehensive medical and rehabilitation care to military personnel and civilians injured during the war in Ukraine.

The grant of EUR 4.13 million to support Superhumans Centers in Dnipro and Odesa is required due to the extraordinary circumstances of the ongoing war in Ukraine. Since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion, tens of thousands of Ukrainians have sustained life-changing injuries. The current shortage of specialised rehabilitation services in Ukraine forces many patients to travel long distances to Lviv or even abroad, often incurring significant financial and emotional burdens. The new Dnipro rehabilitation center, located close to the frontline and serving a large population of internally displaced people (IDP), is uniquely positioned to fill this critical gap in Eastern Ukraine, significantly improving access to timely rehabilitation and care services in the region. With the planned Odesa center set to open in 2026, Superhumans will further expand access to multi-disciplinary, high-quality and free medical and rehabilitation care for injured veterans and civilians (including children) in Southern Ukraine, ensuring that life-changing support reaches those who need it most.

Superhumans serves as a national center of excellence for rehabilitation and reconstructive surgery, collaborating closely with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine on updating care protocols and the skills of Ukraine's healthcare sector workforce. It supports state hospitals through international medical missions, specialist training and university programmes for prosthetists. Additionally, Superhumans partners with the Ministry of Veterans' Affairs of Ukraine and Ministry of Economy of Ukraine on veterans' support and reintegration programmes.

Private Actors Description

A Private Actor is a non-governmental body or entity that is the borrower or client of a development project, which can include corporations, private equity and banks. This describes the private actors and their roles in relation to the project, when private actor information is disclosed or has been further researched.

Superhumans currently operates a war trauma center in Lviv, launched in April 2023, and a new center in Dnipro, opened in June 2025, based on the previously unused and fully restored premises of state hospitals. Both centers focus on limb prosthetics, rehabilitation, psychological support, and social reintegration. In addition, Superhumans Lviv operates a reconstructive surgery unit with two surgical theatres and an in-patient department. The Superhumans Dnipro serves as a hub for a targeted evaluation brigade, ensuring efficient patient evacuation and timely transfer to Superhumans Lviv for further surgical interventions. Together, the two centers have a combined annual capacity of up to 2,000 patients. Superhumans Centers provide follow-up prosthetic limb maintenance services, ensuring that patients receive not only immediate treatment, but also the long-term care they need to fully rebuild their lives and re-integrate into economic activity.

In addition to the existing centers, Superhumans will be launching mid 2026 a comprehensive medical center for prosthetics, rehabilitation, psychological support, and sports rehabilitation in Odesa with the capacity to provide care to 600 new patients per year, while also supporting up to 1,200 individuals annually with follow-up services.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EBRD

The Project Complaint Mechanism (PCM) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the PCM, it may assess compliance with EBRD's own policies and procedures to prevent harm to the environment or communities or it may assist you in resolving the problem that led to the complaint through a dialogue with those implementing the project. Additionally, the PCM has the authority to recommend a project be suspended in the event that harm is imminent.

You can contact the PCM at: pcm@ebrd.com or you can submit a complaint online using an online form at: http://www.ebrd.com/eform/pcm/complaint_form?language=en
