Manifesto

Why we exist

Amputation does not end in the operating theatre. A new chapter begins there, full of questions that the healthcare system does not fully answer. About prosthetics, rehabilitation, funding, phantom pain, returning to work. About what waits beyond the hospital door.

The Świat Bioniki Foundation was created to make that information more accessible, whether you are a week, a year or a decade post-amputation.

Who we are here for

For people with limb loss or limb difference – wherever they are on this journey.

For family and loved ones who want to help but do not know how.

For the specialist, whether prosthetist, physiotherapist or doctor, who is looking for a perspective no textbook provides: what a prosthesis looks like in the daily life of its user.

What we do

Three pillars, three equal areas of work:

What we do not do

We do not sell. We do not recommend products in exchange for payment. We describe how prostheses perform in real life and for whom they may be the right choice.

We do not pretend to have all the answers. We are an organisation in the making. The foundation is pending registration, the portal is growing, the community is just beginning. We say this openly.

Where this credibility comes from

The foundation was founded by Artur Wąsowicz, an entrepreneur with a decade in healthcare and a person with a left leg amputation. It is built together with the people joining its board, its reviewers and its collaborators. We do not write about prosthetics from the outside. We know this subject from the inside.

That is a perspective missing from every catalogue and brochure. And that is precisely why it is needed.

That is why you will meet two voices on this portal. When you read "I", it is Artur speaking – as a person after amputation and an everyday prosthesis user. When you read "we", it is the foundation and the people who build it together. This is not an accident but the way we combine one person’s experience with the work of a whole organisation.
