POEDIN President Michalis Giannakos called the situation in Thessaloniki tragic, while visiting the city’s public hospitals, making a dramatic prognosis.

“In ten days the NSS will have been defeated by the coronavirus,” he characteristically said, adding that “we have a health war, in every hospital, in every vigil there is a tough battle to handle the incidents.”

“Before Hippocrates began his vigil, he had 130 incidents, he sent 20 to Agios Pavlos to deal with the vigil. To date 67 cases and 24 suspects have been reported this morning with all the symptoms of the coronavirus.” The hospital has 180 beds and has more than 180 cases, “he said.

The ICU has been full for days

“Now he has to vacate other clinics in other hospitals or in the private sector to be able to face the next shift. The ICU has been full for many days, it has ten full beds,” said the president of POEDIN, adding: “The Minister of Health Vassilis Kikilias announced that he will open 15 new ICU beds in Ippokratio, converting six operating rooms into ICUs. “Apparently there is no adequate staff and infrastructure and what the hospital is promoting in the coming days is opening six new ICU beds.”

Speaking specifically about Thessaloniki and describing the tragic situation in the city, he said that not only the infrastructure of the system is being depleted but also the reserves. In fact, he announced that in two days, patients will be transported by plane in cases where it is considered necessary.

The savior saves himself

“They informed us that as of Saturday they are preparing to transfer cases to the Intensive Care Units, but the virus is spreading throughout Greece and there is no ICU there. Therefore, in 10 days that we advance, the NSS will be defeated by the corona virus for this we must all with a sense of social and individual responsibility to observe individual protection measures, as now the “save me, save”.

We are the people who criticize the government the most. But now we have to protect ourselves. The system cannot resist, “Mr. Giannakos stressed.

He went to the State and was sent to a private clinic

In fact, he reported an incident involving a patient who came to Theageneio and because he closed a pathology clinic, he was told to go to the private sector that collaborates with the State. So he went to his treatment, took a coronavirus test and was charged 140 euros plus the costs of the exams and the treatment he received. This is not imperative and cooperation. “They cannot be blacksmiths during war and the public system can fight the virus.”

“We believe that the system, according to the growing data that we see throughout the country, in ten days it will not last,” said Mr. Giannakos, referring to the deniers of the mask, who as he characteristically said “have done great harm in Thessaloniki with the sights that are circulating even now. “

“Not only with the demonstrations but also through social media. We invite you to come to the Thessaloniki hospitals to see the magnitude of the damage they have caused,” he added.

“Hippocrates is 100% full”

For his part, the president of the Hippocratic Hospital employees, Christos Tzelepis, stated in his statements that the hospital is 100% full.

“The beds that were opened yesterday were taken in service. The companions are really exhausted. Even yesterday, several colleagues were ill. “But they are giving their all to be able to face this difficult task,” he said, describing the difficult situation faced by health workers.

“Unfortunately, we are in a state of war.” We are fighting the battle as best we can, “he added.
