The Superhumans Center is an orthopedic specialist clinic for the treatment and rehabilitation of war victims who are dependent on a prosthesis due to amputation. The focus of the clinic is a personalized approach to body reconstruction, limb prothesis, skin transplantation, exoskeletons, powered by domestically manufactured state-of-the-art medical devices but also psychological support for patients. It will operate several departments, including surgical, traumatological, physical, PTSD and a pediatric reconstruction department.

On April 14, 2023, the hospital in Wynnyky, Lviv Oblast was ceremoniously opened after only 8 months of renovation in the presence of the President's wife Olena Zelenska and the Minister of Health Viktor Liashko.[1]

Among the guests of honor at the opening was Richard Branson of the Virgin Group [2]

The supervisory board of the clinic includes President's wife Olena Zelenska. Supporters include rock singer Sting, actor and director Liev Schreiber, the British Virgin Group,[3] and various American charities operating under the U.S. Charities covered by 501(c)(3).[4][5]

On November 5, 2022, Ukrainian singer-actor Andriy Danylko, also known by his stage name Verka Serduchka, auctioned off his 1974 Rolls-Royce, once owned by Freddie Mercury, through London auction house Sotheby's for £250,000 to deal with the sale of the car to the Superhumans Center to support. The car, which was auctioned by Danylko in 2013 for £75,000, raised an additional £36,250 thanks to the sale house waiving the buyer's premium, raising a total of £286,250 (about €328,900) for the Superhumas Centre.[6][7]
