Superhumans, the War Trauma Center, and the Ministry of health of Ukraine have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate in the field of maxillofacial surgery as part of a joint project with Enabel, the Belgian agency for international cooperation.
This memorandum represents a systematic response to the complex maxillofacial injuries that Ukrainian healthcare has been addressing under the conditions of a full-scale war. For Superhumans, this is one of our core areas of work: we perform complex surgeries daily, host international surgical missions, and build and advance expertise that must operate not in isolated cases but at the national level.
Within the Belgian-funded project, Superhumans will become one of Ukraine’s centers of excellence in maxillofacial surgery. It will integrate the treatment of the most complex cases, professional training for surgeons, and long-term patient follow-up and rehabilitation.
The project includes:
– Establishing centers of excellence in Lviv and Kyiv
– Launching training and simulation hubs for specialist education
– Defining patient pathways and implementing a case management system
– Working toward sustainable public funding for complex reconstructive procedures
The project is planned for 2025–2028 and is being implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, Enabel, and leading medical and educational institutions, including:
– Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University (Department of Surgical Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery)
– O. O. Bohomolets National Medical University (Department of Maxillofacial Surgery and Advanced Dental Technologies)
– Kyiv Regional Clinical Hospital
– Doctors for Heroes NGO
For us, this memorandum signifies responsibility and the scaling of what already works, emphasizing that expertise must evolve into a comprehensive system.
