During the last 7 years, METAdrasi has been covering the growing emergency needs for interpretation in hospitals all over Greece, mainly on a volunteer basis. Since March 2018, METAdrasi began, with the support of the Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid of the European Union (ECHO), the provision of interpretation, with daily presence in hospitals in the mainland.
