Adonis Georgiadis thanked for the publication by Giorgos Amiriadis regarding the NHS. Amiriadis argued that the system had been strengthened and provided data on staff, expenditures, and waiting times. According to the post, the permanent staff of the NHS increased from 90,300 in 2019 to more than 100,000, while together with seasonal staff, it reached 106,000. Expenditures, he reported, doubled from 4.1 billion euros to 8.2 billion euros. He added that renovations and upgrades of equipment were carried out in 236 hospitals and health centers, as well as interventions for digitization and the development of a telemedicine network. Amiriadis stated that 26,800 afternoon surgeries had been performed, 78% in public hospitals and 22% in private hospitals, and claimed that waiting times for surgery over four months had decreased by 98%. He also noted that the average waiting time in emergency departments had decreased by 68%, to less than four hours. The publication also mentioned free prevention programs and exams in remote areas, home delivery or availability of high-cost medications at local pharmacies, online appointments via the My Health app, and checks on private practices through Medwatch. Amiriadis noted that three new hospitals had been scheduled — the Pediatric Hospital of Thessaloniki and the general hospitals of Komotini and Sparta — as well as a new hematopoietic stem cell transplantation unit at Papageorgiou Hospital. Regarding ambulances, he reported 52 new vehicles and 8 mobile medical units in Attica, 34 new ambulances in Central Greece, and 5 in the Ionian Islands, along with a tender for 255 more by early 2027. He added that nurses were included in the heavy and unhealthy job category. In closing, he raised the question of whether Georgiadis had done more than previous ministers and if he would make additional interventions. #ΕΣΥ #Υγεία #ΔημόσιαΥγεία (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis stated that Ioannis Tsiparis, the PASOK MP for Ioannina and a doctor at Chatzikosta Hospital, did not attend the inauguration of the new Emergency Department and the new Radiology Clinic. He claimed that Tsiparis could have expressed his views at the ceremony, in front of his colleagues, who, according to him, were aware of the improvements in the hospital's infrastructure and staff. Instead, he said, the MP posted a video. Georgiadis expressed his disappointment at his absence and characterized his stance as "miserable opposition," adding that he was temporary and that the hospital did not belong to him. #Ιωάννινα #Νοσοκομείο #ΤΕΠ (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis stated that during his tour in the Ioannina region, he inaugurated the new Emergency Department and the Radiology Clinic of the “Chatzikosta” Hospital. He claimed that the hospital had been neglected for years but has now been renovated, and mentioned that since 2019, 30 doctors have been hired, while another 30 nurses were recently employed. He said that critics were waiting for him at the hospital entrance, whom he initially chose to ignore. According to his post, they left a few minutes later, and he made statements at the spot where they had stood. He accused them of being more interested in political confrontation than in the public healthcare system. Georgiadis also mentioned that he inaugurated the Metsovo Health Center and an ambulance station in Zagoria, which he described as a demand from the local community for 30 years. He added that residents of the area welcomed him with flowers and hugs. #Υγεία #Ιωάννινα #Εγκαίνια (translated)
