EXPANDING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE

Our goal is to improve accessibility to medical care for residents in remote areas by:

  • Providing our medical equipment (ultrasound devices) for free to non-profit organizations to conduct free primary health care checks.
  • Donating such equipment to these organizations for the same purpose. 
     

Regardless of background or age, living in remote islands of the Aegean and other challenging geographical areas with almost limited access to medical care affects all residents, and such organizations are actively engaged in organizing such initiatives.

The total cumulative duration and utilization of the medical equipment by all organizations reached approximately 30 days of medical tests.


GE HealthCare provides free portable medical equipment (ultrasound devices) to conduct medical checks in remote locations across Greece, organized by nonprofit organizations. Additionally, we donate these portable ultrasound devices to agencies and organizations that offer free health services during such initiatives.

 

The organizations that supply our medical equipment are as follows:

  • DIGENIS AKRITAS 
  • SYMPLEFSIS
  • HELLENIC CARDIOLOGY SOCIETY
  •  COEURS POUR TOUS-HELLAS
  • AXION HELLAS 
  • ESRA DAY

Organizations of medical equipment donation:

  • AEGEAN TEAM
  • AXION HELLAS 
  • COEURS POUR TOUS-HELLAS
