One of the three patients who were transferred yesterday from a Drama hospital to Athens and specifically to the “Attikon” hospital ended up.
The old man was hospitalized in serious condition in the Drama hospital and for this reason it was considered necessary to transfer him to Athens.

The situation in hospitals in northern Greece is dramatic
Hospitals in northern Greece continue to receive suffocating pressure due to the coronavirus pandemic, with the result that hospitals are full and patients are dialysed even outside the ICU.
POEDIN President Michalis Giannakos sounds the alarm about the situation in hospitals in northern Greece, describes the situation as disappointing and notes that there is no decrease in the number of patients.
According to him, during yesterday’s service at AHEPA, more than 160 patients arrived, suspected cases of coronavirus, who waited 10 hours to be treated.
“Tragic situations”
“Fasting, with fever, 110 110 patients with coronavirus were admitted to a reception area for suspected cases. There were no beds and coronavirus patients already in treatment were transferred to Agios Pavlos hospital. In general, there were emergencies and due to lack of space they were transferred to private clinics ”, he characteristically states and adds:
“Patients who were transferred from hospitals to private non-emergency clinics were then referred from non-emergency to emergency clinics. We don’t know how imperative this is. Tragic situations for patients.”
“High mortality in ICU”
According to Mr. Giannakos, the AHEPA ICU had 3 empty beds, while three more were emptied after the death of three patients.
“The 6 beds were immediately filled with deliveries. The mortality rate in the ICUs of the city’s hospitals is very high. This shows the impossibility of timely treatment of patients due to lack of beds”, underlines the president of POEDIN and cites testimonies from workers in cardiac surgery units that were transformed into coronavirus ICUs: ».
