The Minister, at the same time, thanked the EKAV staff and rescuers who were at the scene of the accident from the first moment, as well as the medical and nursing staff of the hospitals of Larisa, Katerini and Thessaloniki, who, as he noted, “they worked altruistically and unselfishly offered their services.”

At the scene, Mr. Plyuris said, “From the first moment we were informed, more than 30 EKAB ambulances were found, they were on shift and all the staff remained, working with total dedication, something that we everyone agrees, YOU distinguish all your staff. He also pointed out that the commander of the Ministry of Health immediately put the Larisin General Hospital on duty, which was not on duty, “really was immediately able to function exemplarily in the elimination of incidents,” as he noted.

The Minister of Health sent this information to the Commission on Social Affairs in the context of the discussion of the bill “On the establishment of a legal entity of private law with the name “Marianne V. Vardinogianni Children’s Cancer Center – ELPIDA” and other reserves”
