The Board of Directors of Axion Hellas expresses its deepest sorrow for the sudden loss of Evangelos Spanos, the founder and head of the BIOIATRIKI Group.

This year’s World Health Day is dedicated to recognizing and honoring nurses and midwives. Axion Hellas would like to honor the entire medical community who is actively contributing to the preservation of the most valuable asset, health and therefore stays home.

Axion Hellas continues to support society in every possible way, donating to the Intensive Care Unit of the First Pulmonary Clinic of the University of Athens, a Breas Vivo 50 Respirator with its oxygen bottles and other hospital consumables.

Being fully aware of the needs of our country in these extremely difficult times that the whole world is going through, Axion Hellas decided to offer the amount of 50,000 euros to address the urgent needs of the national health system.

A fully refurbished, inflatable RHIB (rigid-hulled inflatable) military speedboat was delivered to the Hellenic Navy yesterday. It is a high-capacity auxiliary boat of the TPK “DANIOLOS”, one of the most cutting edge missile launchers of the Hellenic Navy.

Being responsible for the citizens of our remote islands of Greece, our volunteers, but also with respect for the rules set by the government in order to deal with the COVID-19 crisis, we are obliged to postpone our 9th mission scheduled for the period 1-10 of May.

We were delighted to organize the charity event Auction for Axion, a live auction of contemporary artworks by Greek and international artists.

Our 8th sailing trip to the three small islands of the Ionian Sea, Meganissi, Kalamos and Kastos, was completed with absolute success. We would like to thank all the partners and institutions that contributed to the realization of our last action.

In addition to the clinics we will set up in Meganissi, our 8th action includes partnerships that will contribute significantly to our work.

Our upcoming action will take place in Meganisi, Kalamos and Kastos. We are leaving on December 4 with the first destination being Meganisi!

It was, indeed, a little feat. A few days ago, the 7th Crossing of Axion Hellas was completed with the inflatable boats, although the weather not only did not make the fortune to dozens of volunteers but caused many problems.
