Mr. Georgiadis noted that “some doctors operate, some anesthesiologists and some nurses are in the surgical teams. The reactions can’t be as gigantic as projected.”
The minister stated that he is absolutely certain that “within a few months 95% of the country’s hospitals will perform evening surgeries and slowly people will go to them more timidly at first and by the end of the year more will go and the waiting list will decrease ».
The minister stated that he was pleased with the data of the first ten days of the implementation of the measure, noting that he expected less participation at the beginning and noted, referring to the KAT Hospital, that “out of the 17 surgical clinics, all 17 expressed the desire to organize afternoon surgeries. How generalized a reaction can to be in KAT, when 100% of clinics do afternoon surgeries?” and added: Those who react ask that we ban the possibility of afternoon surgeries. I am not forcing afternoon surgeries to take place, I am saying that I am not forbidding you. If you want, do it. We will not prohibit it, we will allow it.”
Referring to the public hospitals in relation to the private ones, Mr. Georgiadis noted that “they have an extremely trained and experienced medical and nursing staff as the very serious cases always end up in the NHS, while also in terms of cost in terms of the afternoon surgeries they are excellent lower than that in the private sector. We’re actually making health services accessible to people who wouldn’t be able to go to a private hospital because they have to pay three or four times more.”
Mr. Georgiadis referring to the reforms that are currently being implemented such as “afternoon surgeries and the possibility for NHS doctors to have private work beyond their working hours in the National Health System and whatever else we think of, are done to make the positions of the of NHS staff more attractive, thus increasing the chances that more doctors will work in the health system” and added: “Everyone must understand that the conditions are not the same as they were 20 or thirty years ago and we must make our system more competitive ».
Referring to his visit to the Karamandane Children’s Hospital, the minister saw the progress of the work up close, stressing that “the commitment of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to be renovated with funds from the Ministry of Health has been implemented. Within a year from today, after joining the Recovery and Resilience Fund, he will have completely new, very modern surgeries.”
Mr. Georgiadis congratulated the commander of the 6th Health Region, Giannis Karvelis, and the hospital’s director, Aspasia Rigopoulou, for the speed with which the project of installing the MRI scanner was implemented, as Karmandanio is the only pediatric hospital in the Western axis.
The minister noted that after the interventions that have been made “Karmandaneio is a hospital that has nothing to envy from the corresponding nursing institutions in Athens”.
It should be noted that in the forecourt of the hospital there was a gathering against the operation of the afternoon surgeries. Mr. Georgiadis spoke to those gathered.
Mr. Georgiadis then visited the “Agios Andreas” Hospital, as well as the University Hospital of Rio.
