In July of this year, a barely alive 40-year-old woman from Bakhmut named Oksana was dug out of a 5-meter-deep crater formed as a result of a russian missile hit. Oksana was taken to a hospital in Dnipro in extremely serious condition. She had shrapnel wounds in her right lung and liver, extensive wounds to the left shoulder, an open fracture of both legs and the right arm. Doctors fought for her life in the intensive care unit for eleven days. As soon as it was possible to stabilize her condition, Oksana was taken by evacuation train to “Unbroken” National Rehabilitation Center in Lviv. Here, doctors performed a complex reconstructive surgery: the tissue from the patient’s back was transplanted to her limb, and her leg was saved from amputation. Oksana has a few more bone surgeries ahead of her, but she will definitely be able to walk.

Due to the constant missile attacks of russian invaders, Ukrainian doctors must work in extreme conditions. In particular, in Lviv, cardiac surgeons were forced to perform a complex heart operation in semi-darkness due to a power outage.
