On Wednesday, June 4, the President of the “Mora Thavmata” Association, Mrs. Elena Megalemou–Triantafyllides, in the presence of Mrs. Marietta Mitsides and Mrs. Christiana Cleanthous, donated to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Archbishop Makarios III Hospital a specialized therapeutic hypothermia device for babies suffering from severe perinatal asphyxia, valued at €21,000.

This type of therapy is offered only in Level III-IV Neonatal Intensive Care Units, such as the Unit at Makarios Hospital, which serves as a national referral center for all of Cyprus.

The President of the Association warmly thanked Mitsides Company for its long-standing support and contributions to “Mora Thavmata.” She emphasized that for the eighth consecutive year, Mitsides, through its well-established Easter campaign "We knead with love for the miracles of life," significantly contributed by donating all proceeds from the campaign towards the purchase of this equipment.
