The IASO Group received the Gold award for its integrated “By your Side” Corporate Social Responsibility Program, actively meeting the healthcare needs of our fellow citizens. Ms Christina Tampourea, IASO Group Chief Commercial Officer, accepted the award, noting, “We thank the judges’ panel. We thank you all for this very significant and honorary award. When we created ‘By your Side’ a few years ago, we set a target for what you hold most dear, your health. Your own health, and that of your patients, fellow humans and all those who need us. All of us, each on their own, but also together as a unit, must strive for a better future. Our values are words which carry meaning: dignity, responsibility, dedication, care, love, courtesy, respect, all complemented by professionalism. We thank our people, the administrative and nursing staff, who worked both inside the departments and outside, wherever the need arose, our doctors, for we would not have any pro bono surgery or thousands of medical tests without them, and naturally, the man who has always been the driving force behind everything, IASO Group Chairman Georgios Stamatiou.”

IASO received the Silver award in the growth category for its “No. 1 Services in Greece”.
