Evangelismos hospital gets revamped

A new building including 15 operating rooms at the Evangelismos Hospital, donated by National Bank, was inaugurated by Health Minister Makis Voridis.

The new facilities include two orthopaedic operating rooms and two of the largest cardiological operating rooms in Greece, with state-of-the-art technology. There are also two neurological ones large enough to hold magnetic tomographers, and a hybrid operating room that can be directly converted to handle a switch in surgical procedures.

Several other facilities are included, for sterilizing equipment and laboratories.

A delegation of hospital staff told the minister that the facilities could not operate with short-term staff. Both administrative staff and doctors condemned the presence of riot police outside the new surgery building.
