Details: The document was signed in the presence of Yuliia Svyrydenko, Ukraine's First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy.

The project will be implemented within the framework of a grant agreement signed in June 2024 between the Ukrainian and French governments. The microclinic will be equipped with high-tech equipment, allowing for the creation of custom prosthetics according to the most up-to-date standards.

Kalashnyk also mentioned that patients at the microclinic would not only receive high-quality prosthetics but would also be able to undergo a complete course of rehabilitation without the need to visit other medical facilities. Quote: "This framework will greatly enhance access to high-quality medical care for patients who have had limbs amputated, resulting in more effective and comfortable treatment. 

This is not simply a medical project.

It provides an opportunity for people to rediscover how to walk, run and hug their loved ones.

It's about their dignity, independence and the right to a future free from barriers."
