Representatives of the institutions thanked HYGEIA for its kind offer and underlined that the action will assist in raising awareness among other bodies in these difficult times, all for the benefit of the people in need.
Commenting on the initiative, HYGEIA Group’s CEO, Ms Areti Souvatzoglou, stated: “In these difficult times, this is the least we can do for the people and organizations in need. The unflagging support of our Group’s employees encourages us to continue our social contribution. Besides, in the over 35 years it has been operating, HYGEIA is fully aware of its increasing social responsibilities and the sensitive nature of the area it serves; an area where healthcare is directly associated with the values of respect and compassion towards our fellow human beings.”
