Donation from Ali Sabancı to Leros State Hospital! Greece is talking about Sabancı

On August 24, 2023, while on vacation in Bodrum, businessman Ali Sabancı, who was traveling to the island of Leros with his wife Vuslat Doğan Sabancı, was seriously injured as a result of a boat accident. The couple's initial medical intervention took place at Leros State Hospital, where their treatment began following the accident.

It was recently revealed that Ali Sabancı made a donation worth 5.6 million Turkish Lira (approximately 115 thousand Euros) to the hospital that saved his life and his wife's health. News regarding this donation has received extensive coverage in Greece's leading media outlets.

The Sabancı couple was taken to Leros Hospital immediately after the accident, and it was emphasized that the initial interventions performed there were of vital importance. The Sabancı family, who continued their treatment in Turkey in the following days, did not forget the fast and effective medical assistance they received in Leros.

The hospital administration accepted the donation and announced that it would be used to modernize the operating room infrastructure and renew surgical equipment. Officials stated that this contribution would create significant changes in the island's hospital, which has limited resources.

Ali Sabancı expressed his gratitude with the words, "You saved our lives." He conveyed his thanks to the healthcare workers and nurses, especially surgeon Georgios Krasonikolakis, who provided emergency intervention that night. As a result of the mediation of Sabancı's close friend Mehmet Başer and meetings held with officials, the final procedures were completed quickly and the donation was made official.

Thanks to this meaningful support, Leros State Hospital will acquire new and up-to-date surgical equipment. The local people and the hospital administration expressed their great satisfaction with Sabancı's generosity. The humanitarian sensitivity of the Sabancı family seems likely to remain on the agenda in neighboring Greece for a long time.
