New Operating Rooms in Evangelismos Hospital

The National Bank of Greece donated a new ward with 15 operating rooms to Evangelismos Hospital. The new building was inaugurated by the Greek Health Minister Makis Voridis on Tuesday. The new ward includes two orthopaedic operating rooms and two of the largest cardiological operating rooms in Greece, equipped with the latest technology. There are also two neurological rooms, large enough to hold MRI scanners, and a hybrid operating room that can be directly converted to handle a switch in surgical procedures. It also includes facilities for sterilizing equipment and laboratories. Representatives of the hospital employees told the Health Minister that the new facilities could not operate with short-term staff, while both administrative staff and doctors strongly criticized the presence of riot police outside the new building.
