We have taken the scope of medical care from basic services to diagnostic specialties, responding to changing health care needs.

hellenicare services and humanitarian assistance are open to all, demonstrating the greater Hellenic community’s compassion, concern and caring for not only our fellow Hellenes, but all who suffer from poverty and oppression. Services are not just concentrated in city areas, but in rural, remote villages where people's access is severely limited. hellenicare was the first organization to conduct coronary by-pass surgery in the Republic of Georgia. In 2007, the organization made history once again in providing outpatient cataract surgery. The medical center in Tbilisi, Georgia not only is performing cataract surgery but also laparoscopic surgery as of November 2008.

In the Republic of Ukraine, hellenicare operates the first privately own medical center in Mariupol, Ukraine for women’s health.
