With the support of the BGV Fund, three Ukrainian specialists completed a three-month internship in the spring of 2024 at Ottobock — a globally renowned leader in the production and implementation of innovative prosthetics, orthotics, exoskeletons, and wheelchairs. The internship took place in the city of Duderstadt, Germany.

The BGV Fund handled all organizational processes and logistics, while the German non-profit organization #WeAreAllUkrainians covered the living expenses of the Ukrainian participants abroad.

During the training, the Ukrainian specialists acquired valuable skills, including how to accurately take measurements of lower limb amputations, fabricate prosthetics, conduct fittings and adjustments, work with above-knee joint amputations, and provide psychological support to patients and their families.
