CORFU. The sponsorship is for health education programmes.
(AHEPA) AHEPA Corfu, following a request by the Director of the General Hospital of Corfu, Ms. Egglezopoulou, proudly announces a sponsorship of €30,000 to the Hospital, aimed at funding high-level educational programmes for healthcare professionals in critical departments of the hospital.
The funding will cover the training and certification of doctors and nurses in two essential life support programmes, under the auspices of the Hellenic Society of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (EEKA), conducted according to the strictest international standards:
A) European Paediatric Advanced Life Support (EPALS)

Training in the care of high-risk newborns, including techniques for breathing support, cardiac massage, and the use of emergency equipment.
The training will take place in two phases — the first in May and the second in November — and a total of 24 healthcare professionals will be trained.
The programme is intended for professionals in the following departments:
-
Paediatrics
-
Neonatology
-
Gynaecology

Obstetrics

Emergency Department

The President of AHEPA Corfu, Mr. Giorgios Salampasis, stated:
"This donation reflects our commitment to advancing the quality of healthcare in Corfu and follows our previous donation of €27,000 to the neonatal intensive care unit of our hospital, significantly contributing to the improvement of healthcare standards in our region.
By training specialists, we enhance the hospital’s ability to respond to emergencies, saving the lives of newborns and children, once again supporting our local community.
In the coming period, our organisation will implement a series of actions to complete this important donation.
