in

While schools are still on summer break, preparations for the new academic year are already underway. In anticipation of student registrations and recognizing the importance of prevention and early diagnosis in childhood and adolescence, the Athens Pediatric Center and the Thessaloniki Interbalkan Medical Center — both part of the Athens Medical Group — are offering comprehensive, pre-school health screening packages under the ‘Back to School’ initiative. These packages are available at special rates until October 30, 2026.

Designed for Students Up to Age 16

The ‘Back to School’ packages target children and adolescents up to 16 years old. Their aim is to provide timely medical evaluation before the first bell rings — giving parents peace of mind about their child’s health and safety as they return to school and daily activities.
