“We have a strategic plan, which says that as long as the NSS is under pressure, we will not allow any danger in service, we will not allow COVID cases to be treated if they continue to increase exponentially,” Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias said in a interview. with the order of two private clinics in Thessaloniki.

He even clarified that the plans were ready from the first wave, and the co-capital needed them now.
He also said that there is good cooperation with most of the people and this has been evident during all these months. “We’ve received COVID-free ICUs and single beds from individuals, we’ve worked together and that’s something I appreciate. Most people work together.” When some people thought they couldn’t work together or couldn’t find a solution for each other acceptable, for the sake of public health, the organized state did what it had to do. “The Minister explained that in none of the cases there will be incidents of COVID along with non-COVID. The cases with the patients who have these two clinics, We are already transferring them with EKAB to other clinics.The two clinics will treat simple cases of COVID in individual beds and will help the National Health System.
“Let everyone understand that the whole country is a Health District. This includes the NSS hospitals, the Primary Health Care, the military hospitals and the private sector.”
The National Health System is straight
As the Minister of Health said on ANT1 television, “the National Health System has proven to be resilient and upright, thanks to its people, doctors, nurses, staff and thanks to the superhuman effort made by them and the hospital administrations. And of course, with responsibility, composure and efficiency, we are permanently adding other forces to the SNA. “After ten years of crisis, restrictive fiscal policies and no investment in health, the NSS is here, next to the citizen and very reliable.”
360% increase in ICU-COVID beds in Thessaloniki in 28 days
Mr. Kikilias referred to the state of the health system in Thessaloniki and said that on October 23 there were 34 ICU-COVID beds in Thessaloniki. On November 5 they reached 87, on November 10 at 125 and today November 20 at 198. “We have a 360% increase in the ICU-COVID of Thessaloniki in 28 days. And together with Halkidiki, Kavala and Katerini, who are supported by the Thessaloniki hospitals, we have 218 beds. We also increased simple COVID beds. We started on October 23 with 490 beds and we have reached 1,420 ”. He added that the system is under pressure and “of course it is a difficult situation, of course and we are happy to know that little by little the R decreases, the curve flattens out.” And this gives us the opportunity to think that in a few days we will see a reduction in hospital admissions. At the moment we don’t see it yet. “
The official opposition is at odds with society
Commenting on the opposition’s statements, he spoke of “loudmouth, out of place and time.”
“We are not a Soviet here, to impose the whole country horizontally. When it should, where it should. The order is refunded everywhere. That they stop saying other things instead of misinforming Greek society. It demands and compensates both the clinics and the staff, and that’s what we do. ”
“The official opposition is inconsistent with society,” Kikilias continued. “All those who do not show a responsible attitude, because some show a responsible attitude, must understand that in a huge global public health crisis, societies and citizens are coming together alongside those who fight and fight.” They still haven’t understood it. It is as if the whole society is struggling and struggling, and a few on the corner want the country to fail. Forgive me too much, it is something I do not accept. I would like to believe that this is not the case. And there is still time for this group and the part of the official opposition, or the opposition that wants to make such criticisms, to reconsider. Because everything is here and is judged by Greek society.
I can’t afford to theorize. I have to make decisions. And these decisions are crucial because they have to do with people’s lives. In crisis, you decide: will we save lives, will we make decisions, will we do what we have to do? Or will we enter a miserable micropolitical process for the death of people?
The effort we make presupposes a national poster, wearing the National Team shirt
The minister also stated that “we could possibly have gone a few days earlier to the blockade in northern Greece. The Committee on Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology makes recommendations based on the data and the government makes its decisions. But if we say that we are late to close the country, what should state countries say, with huge health systems and health institutes with 50,000 cases per day, with their national systems collapsing, with air transport incidents to neighbors? countries, with respirators in hospital parking lots ?
I have not seen such things anywhere in the country and I believe that if we all participate in this effort, we will not see. But this effort requires a national cartel and the support of all. And we all measure ourselves as politicians, if we wear the National Team shirt and if we are more interested in the country than our party or three minutes of advertising ”.
