A $1 billion-plus SNF initiative organized around five main pillars
Carried out with exclusive support from SNF, the Foundation’s $1 billion-plus Global Health Initiative (GHI) seeks to strengthen physical and mental health by improving the quality of care for all, expanding access, and empowering providers on the front lines.
The initiative is founded on collaboration: extensive public-private partnership in Greece and collaboration with international research institutions.
Second CAMHI Conference on the Mental Health of Children and Adolescents
As part of SNF’s Global Health Initiative (GHI) and in collaboration with the Child Mind Institute, the Child & Adolescent Mental Health Initiative (CAMHI) organized its second full-day conference, which took place on February 27 at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) Lighthouse from 09:00 to 17:30.
In 2017, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW) in collaboration with Betaplan embarked on a common vision to create and deliver to the Greek National Health System hospitals for the future. The SNF General Hospitals of Komotini and Sparta, and the SNF University Pediatric Hospital of Thessaloniki will be three, state-of-the-art public hospitals located in underserved healthcare peripheries of Greece providing equitable, universal and quality medical care for all. With completion and delivery of the new SNF General Hospital of Komotini and the SNF University Pediatric Hospital of Thessaloniki scheduled for the end of 2026 and of the new SNF General Hospital of Sparta for the end of 2027, the three hospitals envision to bring about a new standard in public healthcare in Greece and beyond.

In 2021, to help ensure safe air transport for sick and injured patients from remote areas of Greece to treatment centers across the country and Europe, the SNF supported the procurement and delivery of four medevac aircraft to the National Center for Emergency Care (EKAV) as part of the SNF Global Health Initiative (GHI). In the span of three years, they have carried out 1,500 missions and completed 3,600 hours of flight, transporting more than 1,900 patients.
