The resources that are missing right after an amputation
Guides, forms, contacts and a glossary. Everything you would normally hunt down across ten browser tabs, gathered in one place so you don't have to look for it on your own.Artur Wąsowicz, foundation founder, prosthesis user since 2020
Educational content: the materials in this section are informational and supportive. Choosing a prosthesis, applying for funding or reaching out to a specialist is always worth discussing individually with your doctor, your prosthetist or an adviser at PFRON – the State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons.
What you'll reach for most often
After-Amputation Navigator
Come back at every stage. Disability certificate, choosing a practice and a prosthesis, funding and ready-made letter templates.
Where to fill your prosthesis prescription
Pick a region and a type of prosthesis and you will see clinics with a current NFZ contract, with address and phone number. Data comes straight from NFZ at the moment you search.
Where to get pain treatment
Pick a region and you will see pain clinics contracted by NFZ, with address, phone number and the waiting time each of them reported to the Fund.
