“In the last three days, as we see the epidemiological curves in northern Greece and especially in the prefecture of Thessaloniki, there seems to be a flattening. However, the rate of spread is also important, the R. As far as it has to do with hospitalizations, we are obviously talking “for a big battle. The National Health System has exceeded its capacities 4 and 5 times. An impressive effort is being made in the north of Greece and the Health System still endures, “reported Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias on MEGA television channel.
As the minister said, we have now reached 1,239 ICU beds across Greece. Of these, 687 are UCI Covid and 552 are not Covid. That is why we treat the other cases – stroke, heart, traffic – in contrast to other health systems. And we are very proud that, in a very difficult situation, in a pandemic, the National Health System here in Greece still endures.
4,000 of the auxiliary personnel will become part of the National Health Service.
The Health Ministry and the Greek government in the midst of a pandemic, hired 7,000 assistants in ESY: doctors, nurses and other personnel, said Mr. Kikilias. “Never before in the history of ESY have so many assistants been hired in such a short time. Of these, 4,000 nurses, assistants, ambulances with ASEP and scoring procedures will remain forever in the National Health System, they become permanent. Likewise, 300 intensivists were hired, of which a significant number were assistants within the SEN, some were from the private sector and others from abroad, and for them the process was completed to be permanent. We have put those who specialize in the process and in the battle, we have brought procedures so that doctors and nurses from the private sector can reach the NSS, on the move and in the middle of a pandemic. “What is humanly possible, that’s why the results are much better in our country.”
All patients receive the care they need
At the moment, as he said, everyone who needs ICU is being treated. “Everyone! In multifunctional ICU or ICU, as explained by Ms. Kotanidou. It is an impressive effort. From the first moment I supported all the employees, I promoted them and I thank them very much, I am grateful. I love these people who give this “Battle from northern Greece to southern Greece and our islands. I love them, respect them and I think the state will find other ways to reward them. “
With patriotism and strength, we fight to save one more human life
“The dead are a tragic reality that we live every day. I wish there were no deaths, no flu, no one! But we are talking about a pandemic. Is this understood? The battle that the planet is waging? Sometimes I see that some, nonchalantly, want to do the “three minute commentators”, not knowing that we are talking about a pandemic, a shocking situation that has led to the closure of half if not the entire planet. lose a man, and for that and together we fight a dreadful battle. Good or bad, things in life are judged against something else. Compared to rich countries, compared to those with a lot of money, compared to those that had no memorandums for ten years and had no problem strengthening their health systems, they have already collapsed and we are still standing and fighting. I want to continue passing this power on to all my colleagues, to all the nurses, to all the collaborators who are struggling. Here we will be and we will fight until the last moment, to save one more human life ”.
Ungrounded to talk about lifting the lockdown at the end of the month
He said that we must be very careful in the middle of the confinement and when the time comes to lift the restrictive measures one by one.
“We all need prudence, seriousness, empathy for how important human life is, for our neighbor, our father, our mother, our friend. According to epidemiological data, the pressure on the NSS but also the diaspora, it is evident that they cannot be removed at the end of the month. I am obliged to see the data day by day. This conversation is unfounded. At this moment a battle is being fought. The number of cases must decrease and the “National Health System. These two are the key variables so that gradually, step by step, we can return to partial normality. “
We will have the vaccine at the same time as all European citizens
“We will have vaccines when the EMA and the FDA control and the European Union approves these vaccines, so that citizens can use them safely. I think it is not too late. What I can tell you for sure is that when the Germans, the French and the rest of Europe will see them, the Greeks will see them on the exact same day, it is a common European program.
A week ago I presented the National Vaccination Plan, with at least 1,018 vaccination centers and the possibility of vaccinating 2,117,000 of our fellow citizens per month. “If it is necessary and we have more than one or two vaccines, it can be extended even further.”
