The rose symbolizes the hope and medicine used by the goddess Aphrodite in mythology.

Works like this exist in other hospitals in the country, such as the AHEPA in Thessaloniki, where a large mural on the front depicts an overworked nurse with a mask and right next to it is the message "Thank you".
