Dr. Zisis Dimitriadis donates AED to the volunteer group F.A.S.T.

On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, Dr. Zisis Dimitriadis, a Professor of Cardiology at the University of Mainz and Director of Cardiology at the Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus, donated an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) to the volunteer organization F.A.S.T. (First Aid Support Team). The handover ceremony took place at the Germasogeia Cultural Center.

The event was attended by local officials, including Amathounta Mayor Kyriakos Xydias, Deputy Mayor of Germasogeia Christos Papamichail, and municipal councilors Giannakis Maragos, Christos Mouzouridis, and Evros Drousiotis. This contribution marks the second donation by Dr. Dimitriadis, who previously provided an AED to the volunteer group DIASOSI 1. The equipment is intended to bolster the capabilities of the F.A.S.T. team in providing emergency first aid and medical coverage for various local athletic and social events.

Dr. Dimitriadis stated that the initiative is part of his ongoing efforts to support volunteers dedicated to public welfare and human safety. This donation follows a growing trend of private sector support for local volunteer response teams in Cyprus, ensuring that critical life-saving devices are more readily available in community settings.
