Today at Larisa University Hospital, there will be 5 cataract surgery. According to the Minister of Health it is the hospital with the largest attendance. “At Larisa University Hospital, which is the hospital with the largest participation in afternoon surgeries from all over Greece, and I want to thank them for that, there will be five cataract surgery today. When I asked them “why so much demand” they replied that the price difference in relation to the private sector is too great. So these five who will be operated on this afternoon leave the list of morning surgeries and five of our fellow citizens who were on hold will be operated on earlier.” Protest for afternoon surgeries outside the hospital “Evangelism” Unlike afternoon surgery, hospital doctors of Athens and Piraeus continue to declare. The Board of Directors of IAP declared a job stop on Thursday 14/03/24 (13:00 – 15:00) and a meeting outside the hospital Evangelismism. At the same time, doctors call on their colleagues not to enter afternoon paid surgeries! “The government of the South takes off the policy of commercialization and privatisation of health. Instead of hiring all the necessary permanent staff to operate the closed surgical rooms (all over Attica is operated 130 out of 200) and that all patients can be operated on time, without being forced to pay again, it imposes a legal state “folder” on afternoon paid surgeries. The rest of the patients are convicted of waiting on the digital waiting lists. We know well that the afternoon service will take place at the expense of the morning,” doctors note and conclude that the Ministry of Health, “does not intend to hire the necessary staff to operate the closed operating rooms. Instead, it enables individuals to enter the hospital and bring or find ‘customs’. Reportage: Janna Soulaki/ Source: Iatropedia.gr
