A Greek Australian has donated a brand new, fully equipped ambulance to help strengthen emergency healthcare services in the Nafpaktia and Dorida regions of Central Greece.
The vehicle has already joined the EKAB fleet and is now in daily operation, providing vital emergency support to local communities.
Spyros Macheiras, who recently returned permanently to his hometown of Trizonia in Greece after many years in Australia, told local outlet Nafpaktianews.gr that supporting local healthcare services had long been a personal goal.
He said he was pleased to see the ambulance already making a difference by providing “immediate assistance to citizens.”
Reflecting on the strong bond many members of the Greek diaspora maintain with their homeland, Macheiras said: “Greeks never forget their place of origin. No matter how many years they spend abroad or how much money they make, they always want to return to their homeland.”
