HHG Group’s “Everywhere” Program

For more than 10 years, Hellenic Healthcare Group’s clinics implemented the “Traveling for Health” programs of HYGEIA Hospital and “Prevention” of Metropolitan Hospital and Metropolitan General, practical medical assistance campaigns that included clinical and diagnostic tests in the local community.

In the spring of 2024 with the aim of further upgrading the medical services provided, the HHG hospitals joined forces and merged these two programs, creating the program “Everywhere” which includes an organized plan of annual actions for the wider coverage of the needs of residents in areas that do not have easy access to health services. For 2024 the “Everywhere” program traveled to Kasos, Astypalaia and Sifnos, while in previous years a total of 22 other campaigns had already taken place. The aim of the program is to cover an even wider range of areas and to examine as many of our fellow citizens as possible.
