MYTILINEOS continues the important
cooperation, launched in 2017, with the non-profit organization ”Pediatric Trauma
Care” supporting its mission to create and upgrade the Emergency Departments
in the country’s Health Centers and Pediatric Hospitals and to raise awareness,
especially among parents and teachers, on children’s accidents in Greece.
In the context of this cooperation, MYTILINEOS recently provided the medical
equipment required to make fully operational the Pediatric Clinic Emergency
Room of Ioannina General University Hospital. Upon completion of this project,
the University Hospital shall be able to respond, right from the first critical hour, to
any child injury, gaining thus precious time for the child’s health outcome.
It is expected that the Emergency Room will offer immediate help to more than
5.700 children annually, while approximately 2.500 children are screened either
as chronic cases or in the University Pediatric Clinic’s special medical care
facilities.
This project becomes increasingly important given that Ioannina University
Pediatric Clinic covers the regions of Epirus, Corfu, Lefkada, Aitoloakarnania,
Western Macedonia and Southern Albania. With the influx of thousands of
refugees to Epirus, the clinic offers hospital and primary care to hundreds of
refugee children.
In addition, the company continues to contribute to the Organization prevention
programs, covering printing and free distribution expenses of information material
to teachers and parents because prevention still remains the most effective
pediatric trauma treatment.
MYTILINEOS as part of its contribution to Sustainable Development Goal “Good
Health & Well Beeing”, has also created from the very start the Emergency
Department of Livadia General Hospital, has equipped the Pediatric Medical
Facility of Hydra Health Center with all necessary machinery and has contributed significantly to the setting up of Larissa General Hospital Emergency
Department. It is estimated that such health care infrastructure serves more than
16.000 children annually.
