Serious reservations about his conversion Pediatric Oncology Department Marianna Vardinogiannis – Nadezhda offline Cancer Center NPIDas provided by the draft law, which is under public discussion, to inform the parents of children with cancer who are preparing for mobilization.

its board of directors Flogas – Association of Parents of Children with Cancer, the statement says she is surprised by this development, expresses concern about how this new “centre” will operate, and calls for a two-week extension of the consultation period, which ends the day after tomorrow at 8 a.m., i.e. less than in seven days. after posting the bill on opengov.gr. “Obviously, this time is not enough to study the bill, nor to request and obtain a detailed legal opinion on the issues raised,” reports Floga and continues, “at the first reading, the benefits of the proposal are not obvious, since everything that the bill describes as benefits for patients are already happening under the existing structure and way of working. On the contrary, there is concern about how the new center operates, as it is not and cannot be a separate hospital unit.

These are outpatient clinics and departments that are directly and daily dependent on the rest of the departments and specialties of pediatric hospitals.” Finally, Floga notes that neither the Director of Pediatric Oncology nor the Hellenic Society of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology was asked or informed during planning.

Kiriakova”, who will be transferred to the oncological dispensary. It is reminded that the workers of “Agia Sophia” are on strike today from 8 am until 15:00 and will also take part in the health mobilization of the Panhellenic Federation of Public Hospital Workers, and tomorrow at 13:00 they will hold a rally in the courtyard of the hospital together with parent associations.
