Axion Hellas, a Greek non-profit organization, completed its 19th mission on Saturday, providing medical, educational and cultural support to some of Greece’s most remote Ionian islands.
The mission visited the Diapontia Islands (Othonoi, Erikousa, Mathraki) and Paxos, where small, often underserved communities were provided with specialized care.
On the Diapontia Islands, the team treated all 150 permanent residents, all over the age of 50, with nine medical specialties addressing local health needs.
In Paxos, home to around 2,500 residents including 500 children, 22 medical specialties served the community. A total of 551 residents were examined, and 2,324 medical tests performed.
In addition to healthcare, the mission ran six educational and cultural programs, involving 355 children and 67 adults. A lasting contribution included a wall art installation by internationally acclaimed artist CacaoRocks at the Paxos School Center.
