As of tomorrow, another 300 Covid beds from large private sector clinics will be included in the business plan of the Attica basin. Thus, the Business Center in Athens will be able to send patients with Covid to the private hospitals that have offered these 300 beds, said the Secretary General of Health Services of the Ministry of Health, Ioannis Kotsiopoulos, in an interview with “Open”.
He also added that the small private clinics with which the ministry cooperates will offer additional beds that will be announced within the week. He noted that the NSS is under a lot of pressure in Attica, Thessaloniki and Crete, due to the large increase in imports and will need simple beds. Fortunately, he added, we have not seen a big increase in the Intensive Care Units, “but we are on alert if we need to intervene.”
Mr. Kotsiopoulos also referred to the planning that has been done since the summer in relation to the treatment of children. “Fortunately at the moment we have not seen an increase, neither with the Delta mutation, nor with the Omicron”, for which, as he said, it is still too early to judge. “But we are closely monitoring this harsh index of hospitalizations,” he said, adding that about 50-70 children are being treated in the country’s hospitals. He added that the number is low and most children do not have anything serious, so they are quickly discharged from hospitals.
