CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW BUILDING FOR HIGHLY SPECIALISED DIAGNOSTICS, SURGERY AND ONCO-HAEMATOLOGY «UNBROKEN KIDS» AT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF ST. NICHOLAS OF THE FIRST MEDICAL UNIT OF LVIV
UNBROKEN KIDS: treatment and rehabilitation of children affected by the war - is a project designed to help children from all over Ukraine who have suffered physical and mental injuries or have complex illnesses and cannot receive treatment at their previous place of residence. The project includes the construction of a new building for a children's hospital.UNBROKEN KIDS is a part of the UNBROKEN Centre of the First Medical Association of Lviv, which aims to treat, rehabilitate and prosthetics Ukrainians in Ukraine. It is based at the St. Nicholas Children's Hospital, a municipal medical facility that has become a real haven for children from all regions since the outbreak of full-scale war.Children from 500 grams to adult age are treated and operated on there, and patients of paediatric, urological, otolaryngological, rehabilitation, neurological, traumatological and other specialities are treated. The neonatal centre, equipped with its own intensive care unit, provides care for newborn babies. Over the past two years, the medical facility has treated more than five hundred wounded children. These include severe mine-blast injuries, shrapnel and bullet wounds, burns and amputations. Thousands of displaced children have also turned to the hospital for various types of help. These include complex heart defects that could not be operated on at home in destroyed hospitals, oncology, epilepsy, often post-traumatic, and our neurosurgeons currently perform the largest number of brain surgeries in Ukraine - 600 per year.All the children who came to us due to the war receive help from UNBROKEN KIDS. 150,000 internally displaced people currently live in Lviv, of whom 70,000 are children in need of medical care. As a result, the load on the hospital, which has 440 beds, has increased fivefold. Last year alone, 25,690 patients were treated, with a total of 87,582 visits over the year. The hospital's only building is currently overcrowded. In order to provide highly specialised care to all those who need it and create the best conditions for children, we need a new building, which we will build next to the existing one. The implementation of this project will help thousands of children to be saved at home, in Ukraine.

Mental Health Centre, IT cluster
As part of a $150,000 grant from the IT Cluster, we successfully implemented a project to create a Mental Health Centre. This innovative centre is designed to provide psychotherapeutic and psychosocial support to patients of the Unbroken rehabilitation centre and their families.
One of the key aspects of the project was the arrangement of specialised rooms for psychotherapy sessions. These rooms are designed and equipped to the latest standards, ensuring comfort and confidentiality during consultations with experienced psychotherapists.
In addition, spaces have been created for art therapy, which allows the use of creativity and expressive artistic means to overcome emotional difficulties and stress, especially for patients who have survived captivity and torture. In addition, spaces are provided for group sessions where participants can share experiences, receive support from each other and jointly develop coping strategies.
