Objective Action

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. 
     
 

Target Audience

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.

 

Duration

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


Description
