In the spring of 2023, Kyivstar, together with the charity platform dobro.ua from the Ukrainian Philanthropic Marketplace, joined forces with the National Rehabilitation Centre "Unbreakable" and expanded the Children's Hope charity programme to include a new area - helping children with burns.

This initiative arose as a result of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

According to statistics, 12,000 children in Ukraine suffer burns every year, and 25-40 of them die as a result of life-threatening burns. And because of the war, this number is growing every day.

Burn injuries rank second among childhood injuries and are among the most difficult to treat. Currently, Ukraine is forced to send the most seriously burned children abroad due to the lack of sterile conditions and sufficient medical equipment.

To remedy this and create conditions for the full treatment of children at home, in Ukraine, Kyivstar has launched a charity initiative and is investing UAH 10 million to purchase specialised medical equipment for the children's burn unit of the National Rehabilitation Centre "Unbreakable" at the First Medical Unit in Lviv.

From the first days of its full-scale operation, the hospital has become one of the main shelters for children affected by the war. The medical facility has taken in more than 3,000 children fleeing the war, including 250 with mine-blast injuries and burns from all over Ukraine.

The allocated funds will be used to purchase a set of surgical instruments, which will include:

  • Electrodermatome 717.2.02 (100 mm)
  • Electrodermatome 717.2.02 (65 mm)
  • Electrodermatome 717.2.02 (45 mm)
  • Electrodermatome 717.0.00
  • Hammer drill 717 (1:3)
  • Hammer drill 717 (1:4)

These instruments are designed for cutting skin grafts during skin plastic surgery and non-crectomies. The field of application of the instrument is surgery and combustiology - surgery that specialises in the treatment of burns.
