Anyone who has the opportunity to help their colleagues in Thessaloniki hospitals should do so now. It is absolutely necessary. Do not feel that Thessaloniki is far away. It is very easy for what happened in Thessaloniki to happen elsewhere and then we will not know who will support whom, “concluded Mr. Exadaktylos speaking with MEGA and the LIVE NEWS program.
