The event was marked by a great turnout and a warm atmosphere, combining entertainment with tangible social contribution. The most significant outcome of the event was the raising of the necessary funds to purchase medical equipment, in accordance with the priorities outlined by the Director of Kos Hospital, Nikos Faniou.

However, Kos’s Hippocratic legacy serves as a constant reminder of everyone’s responsibility toward health and humanity.
The president of the Kos Association of Volunteer Blood Donors, Hippocrates Margaritis, referring to the local community’s response, expressed his satisfaction with the massive turnout and support from our fellow citizens, emphasizing that this participation proves that Kos has the power to come together and mobilize for important social causes.
