The centre provides prosthetics, reconstructive surgery and psychological help free of charge.
The Duke of Sussex, 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.
Harry was accompanied by a contingent from the Invictus Games Foundation, including four veterans who have been through similar rehabilitation experiences.
The visit to the area in western Ukraine that has been targeted with Russian missiles was not announced until after he was out of the country.
He travelled to Ukraine after spending two days in a London court where he is appealing the United Kingdom government's decision to strip him of his government-funded protection after he quit working as a member of the royal family in 2020 and moved his family to the United States.
Harry's older brother, Prince William, met with Ukrainian refugees during a two day visit to Estonia last month.
