Response to the allegations made by the PASOK Lefteris Karchimakis, regarding the situation at Attikon Hospital and the cots, Health Minister, Adonis Georgiadis in a post.

Mr. Georgiadis, referring to the allegations regarding camp beds and patients reportedly being treated in the hallways, noted that he has repeatedly addressed this specific issue, while emphasizing that projects are underway to address the problem.

However, he focused specifically on the report regarding a shortage of bed sheets, arguing that this particular allegation does not correspond to reality.

“I was struck by what was written about the sheets, so I immediately sent a request for an update to the hospital administration,” the minister said, citing the report he said he received from the director of “Attikon.”

According to Mr. Georgiadis, the hospital administration informed him that “as of noon on Sunday, there are 250 sheets available” and that “no department has reported a shortage,” while also noting that the hospital had just finished its on-call shift.

“In short, Mr. Karchimakis wrote lies, which, to be honest, doesn’t surprise me at all,” the Minister of Health stated emphatically.

The Health Minister’s post

“I’ve spoken about his cots so many times that I now think it’s redundant to bring it up again. Besides, the projects to dismantle them have already begun, and everyone in this area knows it. But I was struck by what he wrote about the sheets, so I immediately sent a request for an update to the hospital administration. Here is the update I received:

“Good morning, Mr. Minister…

The available sheets have now been counted, and as of noon on Sunday, there are 250 available.

No department has reported a shortage, and please note that we finished our on-call shift yesterday morning.”

In short, Mr. Karchimakis wrote lies—which, to be honest, doesn’t surprise me at all…”.
