NEW MEMBERS
This year three new members were enrolled.
Furthermore, the group ‘’Friends of Pediatric Trauma Care’’, continues to support our endeavours. Due to the economic conditions prevailing in our country, it is becoming more and more difficult for us to cover our operating costs and to purchase low-value equipment for Hospitals (the high value equipment is sponsored by Companies and Foundations). The support of our ” Friends ” is crucial both to our existence and to our ability to continue helping the injured child. If you know someone who would like to be informed and to help our work with the amount of € 1.000 per year please inform us.

Atalanta Vrecossis (member & head of the english website version of our Charity) created a project on the ‘’Give & Fund’’ platform. The goal is to offer a portable paramagnetic respirator for children at the Trauma Center in the General Hospital of Larissa worth € 6.800 This equipment is vital because in some cases, due to the gravity of the situation it is necessary to transfer the child to a Children’s Intensive Care Unit. Unfortunately, such a unit does not exist in Thessaly and many children have to be moved to Athens and Thessaloniki without the proper ventilator, but with the use of an ambu, with all the risks that this entails. You can support our effort by making a donation through the Give and Fund platform:
