Access is open to the Sismanoglio hospital, which is on duty today. At the same time, Civil Protection is making efforts to gain access to the Pentelis Children’s Hospital, since Pentelis Avenue is currently closed.

Attempts to gain access to Penteli Children’s Hospital

In particular, after the visit of the Deputy Minister of Health Minas Gaga to the EKAV-KEPY coordination center, it became known that access to Sismanoglio, who is currently on general duty, is still open at this time. There is a snow blower inside the hospital, but there are no technical problems. There is a sufficient number of staff, although many medical workers are stuck in their homes.

No issues are reported at Amalia Fleming while Civil Protection is making efforts to gain access to the Pentelis Children’s Hospital (Pendelis Avenue is closed). The hospital has enough food and fuel oil.

Transportation of kidney patients to hospitals for hemodialysis by the fire department.

With the assistance of the fire brigade and civil defense, kidney patients who are currently in need of hemodialysis and cannot travel by personal transport are being transported.

“Both the minister, who was here yesterday, and I are closely monitoring the situation so that all medical institutions work smoothly and provide the necessary services. If a problem is noticed, we intervene immediately to resolve it and provide the best patient care. We recommend taking extra care when traveling because the conditions increase the risk of injury and the cold can affect people with chronic health problems. Therefore, it is better to avoid commuting. I thank all the staff of EKAV-KEPA, who are on duty around the clock, and all the medical workers who offer their services in any conditions,” the Deputy Minister said.
