OUR ACTIONS

MOBILE MEDICAL UNITS

Having launched action in January 2014, the experienced scientific staff with various specialties and two fully-equipped MMUs make up an innovative and holistic health promotion programme.

The MMUs are equipped, among others, with a digital mammography unit, a dental unit, a portable X-ray machine and a bone density scanner, enabling the scientific staff to set up and organize a clinic in the most suitable public space of each area in no more than two hours. Each mission is individualized, taking into account the particular needs of the local community.

Their aim is to provide free Primary Health Care (PHC) to the permanent residents of hard-to-reach islands and remote regions all over Greece.
