The Hellenic Initiative (THI) Australia has funded a major upgrade of two regional Paediatric Trauma Centres in the cities of Kastoria and Ioannina, through a new partnership with Paediatric Trauma Care, Pedtrauma, which aims to provide lifesaving care for children in need throughout Greece.
The first centre was officially inaugurated in the northern city of Kastoria on September, 7, at a ceremony attended by Dr Helen Zorbas AO, CEO of Cancer Australia and Board Member of The Hellenic Initiative Australia.
The $48,000 grant given to Pedtrauma has enabled the purchase of significant medical equipment for the Paediatric Clinics and Neonatal Units at the General Hospital of Kastoria as well as the General Hospital of Ioannina, in northwestern Greece.
The upgrade of the Ioannina General Hospital funded by The Hellenic Initiative Australia is expected to be completed in October.
