Young children are, by nature, full of curiosity, and their sense of danger is not fully developed, which is why they are particularly prone to accidents. Growing up, while they do develop a sense of danger, they are also influenced by other factors, such as the need to show off, a reaction to laws and to the advice of adults, and the appeal of adventure, which results in them still remaining accident-prone. For these reasons, it is important that they learn from a young age how to protect themselves (and not to put themselves in harm’s way).

Dear Friends,

We would like to inform you about “Pediatric Trauma Care”’s latest news.

It has been proven that most children’s accidents occur during the summer holidays. At this time of year the schools are closed and this means children have more free time, often without supervision. It is also a period when people go on holiday near the sea or in the mountains.

“Pediatric Trauma Care” along with more than 60 Civil Society organizations endorse a statement of positions and principles, aiming to highlight their transparent and reliable operation and contribution to Greek society.

It is our great pleasure to inform you that we have upgraded the Bronchoscope system of the Paediatric Pulmonology Department of the 1st Paediatric Clinic of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, thanks to a donation to our Charity by COSMOTE.

The Department treats paediatric patients with complex lung and respiratory conditions, in the “Aghia Sophia” Children’s Hospital, the “P. & A. Kyriakou” Children’s Hospital, and the Children’s Oncology Unit “M. Vardinoyannis-Elpida”.

A large part of Greece is surrounded by sea and countless islands, and has many lakes, rivers and currents. Due to the good weather most of the time the beaches are crowded with people.
