The ‘Thermokitida Agapis’ association on Wednesday thanked the Ygeia polyclinic in Limassol for its contribution towards the purchase of two mobile rescue units valued at €40,000, now handed over to the ambulance service.
The association’s goal is to support and empower families affected by prematurity by increasing awareness on prematurity and promoting the pre-conceptual, ante-natal and post-natal education.
The donation ceremony, marking World Prematurity Month, took place on November 4 in the presence of Health Minister Michael Damianos, who stressed its importance.
Damianos expressed gratitude for the association’s efforts in supporting premature infants and their families.
The Ygeia polyclinic covered part of the cost of the mobile units, reiterating its commitment to quality healthcare and support for critical health initiatives.
The two rescue units are expected to enhance the ambulance service’s response to emergency situations.
The association also reiterated its commitment to strengthening infrastructure and providing support to families with premature infants.
According to Damianos, Cyprus prioritises improving neonatal care facilities and promoting public awareness campaigns in partnership with international organisations to reduce premature births.
The association finally said it will continue to work for premature infants and their families, “aiming to ensure that each child receives the best possible care and a fair opportunity for a healthy life”.
