Dear Friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We would like to inform you about the results of our efforts in the last six months and also about our future goals. The total cost of our project for this period amounts to : \u20ac 140.945,97.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
During this time we managed to build and equip the sixth Trauma Center in Greece, in the \u2018\u2019Andreas Papandreou\u2019\u2019 General Hospital in Rhodes, thanks to the companies \u2018\u2019Hellenic Petroleum\u2019\u2019, \u2018\u2019Norton Rose Fulbright Greece\u2019\u2019 and \u2018\u2019John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation\u2018\u2019 who funded the whole project, at a total cost of \u20ac 70.000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The companies \u2018\u2019OTE\u2019\u2019 and \u2018\u2019COSMOTE\u2019\u2019 also very generously offered, through a special event with the message “No matter how much we offer children, they will always offer us more”, a Portable Ventilator (value \u20ac 14.637) and a Cardiograph (value \u20ac 1.107) to the Pediatric Department of the General Hospital in Arta, a Chlorocheck (value \u20ac 10.510,97) for the \u2018\u2019Aghia Sophia\u2019\u2019 Children\u2019s Hospital in Athens and a Vein Viewer Vision 2 (value \u20ac 5.596,50) for the Trauma Center of the University Hospital of Evrou, in Alexandroupolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2019Alpha Bank\u2019\u2019 adopted for yet another year the sponsorship of our Program on Trauma Prevention which includes presentations in kindergardens and primary schools, (value \u20ac 10.000). From January on we have made 18 presentations and we estimate to have visited a total of 30-35 schools by the end of 2015. It has been statistically proven that by introducing Trauma Prevention into schools the number and severity of accidents occurring has been reduced by up to 50%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again \u201cPedtrauma\u201d was invited to appear on several radio talk shows. Through these shows we were able to explain the importance of our work and to inform many students, parents and teachers on children’s safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
