Successful Launch of Afternoon Surgeries Initiative in Greece at Papageorgiou Hospital

The first afternoon surgeries in Greece began on Tuesday at Papageorgiou Hospital.
Shortly before the start of the surgeries, Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis, accompanied by Deputy Ministers Marios Themistokleus and Dimitris Varzopoulos, visited the surgical facilities of Papageorgiou Hospital, met with the surgical team, and spoke with the first patient undergoing knee arthroplasty.
As a symbolic gesture, the Ministry of Health will cover the cost of these initial interventions. It should be noted that approximately 50,000 afternoon surgeries will be covered by the Recovery initiative.
