Superhumans

Today, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex visited the Superhumans Center in Lviv, Ukraine—a world class, state of the art facility providing prosthesis, rehabilitation, reconstructive surgery, and psychological care for those affected by the war. By delivering these services, the organization works to restore functionality, promote social integration and enhance quality of life for both military personnel and civilians impacted by the ongoing conflict.

The Duke travelled to Ukraine with friends from the UK Invictus community, where they toured the facility, meeting with patients and medical staff to witness the incredible treatment offered to soldiers, civilians, and children who have endured life-altering injuries. Superhuman’s holistic approach combines advanced medical technology with emotional and mental health support with a full wrap around service.

Prince Harry and the Invictus delegation reconnected with members of the Ukranian Invictus Games community – including Yulia (Taira) Paievska, a Team Ukraine competitor whose story was featured in the Netflix docuseries Heart of Invictus. Their presence highlighted the strength and presence of a community built on resilience, purpose, and shared experience. During the visit, The Duke also met with Ukraine’s Minister of Veterans Affairs, Natalia Kalmykova. Thanks to the influence of Invictus, sports recovery has become a key component of the country’s national veterans policy – a vital step in supporting the long-term wellbeing and reintegration of veterans and their families.

Towards the end of the visit, The Duke joined the surgical team in the operating theater where he observed a live surgery, gaining direct insight into the complex procedures that are playing a vital role in the recovery of patients.

The visit concluded with a gathering of patients, medical staff, family members and the Ukrainian Invictus Games team, followed by an awards ceremony for those who had participated in the Superhumans Sports Day Competition. The Duke was asked to share his experience from the day, praising the courage and positivity of everyone at the Center, and celebrating the strength of the Ukrainian soul.


The visit to Superhumans was a powerful reflection of the shared mission between the Center and the Invictus Games Foundation.
