Polakis stages another "health" show on Zakynthos

"Every trace of seriousness and medical ethics has been lost in Public Hospitals. With illegal and unethical practices, Mr. Polakis is currently in the Hospital of Zakynthos and is operating on transported patients for communication purposes. Surprisingly today, he invaded the Hospital of Zakynthos with transported Doctors, Surgeons and Anesthesiologists, materials and gauzes from other Hospitals and illegally threw out Hospital staff and operated on two Patients from another place," the union said in a statement.

"Where will this downhill slide stop? The Minister of Health himself does not observe the medical protocol of the surgical sector, abolishing every concept of medical ethics. The society of Zakynthos and the employees of the Hospital are in turmoil," continued POEDIN, wondering whether it is legitimate for Mr. Polakis to operate in the Hospital of Zakynthos.

At the same time, referring to another incident on the island, it stressed "Friday, April 28, 2017, four o'clock in the afternoon, the Administration, the Director of the Medical Service and the Director of Gynecology of the General Hospital. Zakynthos forced a rural doctor who is forbidden to transfer a pregnant woman with a problem with an agricultural vehicle. The agricultural vehicle with the pregnant woman and the farm doctor boarded the ferry boat at 16:00. What else will our eyes see? "
