Harry on Thursday visited the Superhumans Centre, an orthopedic clinic in Lviv that treats and rehabilitates wounded military personnel and civilians, to see top-notch services provided in a country in the midst of war. The centre provides prosthetics, reconstructive surgery and psychological help free of charge
The trip into western Ukraine, a region frequently targeted by Russian missiles, was only announced after he had left the country
Harry, who served 10 years in the British Army, has made helping injured soldiers one of his most prominent causes. He founded the Invictus Games in 2014 to offer wounded veterans the challenge of competing in sports events similar to the Paralympics
Invictus is more than just about competition, the spokesperson said. It's a year-round movement about life after an injury, which is why Harry visits rehabilitation centres like the one in Lviv
Ukraine integrates sports recovery into its support for wounded troops and has been active in the Invictus Games since 2017. During the visit, Harry met with Natalia Kalmykova, Ukraine's veteran affairs minister
The Duke of Sussex was accompanied by a contingent from the Invictus Games Foundation, including four veterans who have been through similar rehabilitation experiences
