OTE Group offers €2 million in order to provide Greek hospitals with respirators, ICU beds and other medical equipment, based on the needs outlined by the Ministry of Health, in support of the national effort to confront the health crisis caused by the new coronavirus.

OTE Group proceeds to the immediate delivery of 25 respirators, costing €255,000, and a major effort is under way to purchase additional respirators and dozens of fully equipped beds for the Intensive Care Units of Greek reference hospitals.
