In June, 65 people with lower-limb loss were enrolled in the ICELAND SUPPORTS MOBILITY IN UKRAINE program, implemented by Future for Ukraine with the support of the Government of Iceland and in partnership with Embla Medical HF. The participants included 61 service members and 4 civilians in need of prosthetic care as a result of their injuries.
Ten participants successfully completed the full prosthetics and recovery cycle. They received modern prosthetic devices, completed the required stages of rehabilitation, and continued their journey toward greater independence and a more active daily life.
The remaining participants are at different stages of the comprehensive care pathway — from preparation for prosthetic fitting and device fabrication to physical rehabilitation and ongoing support in line with their individual recovery plans.
The program continues to provide Ukrainian service members and civilians with comprehensive support on their path to restoring mobility after limb loss.
