These medical masks will be distributed across the Greek National Health System by the Ministry of Health in order to meet pressing needs throughout the country, supporting in this way the fierce battle being waged by our doctors and nursing personnel against the pandemic unleashed by the Covid-19 virus.

From his side, the Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, declared: “These masks and this equipment will be used exclusively to shield those who find themselves on the front line facing down this major crisis – the doctors, nurses, and personnel in our hospitals, who must feel that they are going into “battle” equipped with the necessary “munitions”. And what constitutes “munitions” for them? It is masks, it is suits, it is that whole set of protective equipment that will allow them to overcome this crisis, as well they know how.”
