Seven more children are sick with streptococcus in Naoussaaccording to official information from Michalis Giannakos of POEDIN.

Her announcement in detail WHEN:

“The death of the 7-year-old is a tragic event that has shocked us all. Several times we have denounced the tragic shortage of doctors of basic specialties in regional hospitals.

Nevertheless the Naoussa Hospital has sufficient staffing in paediatricians. Five pediatricians work at the hospital and there is a 4-bed short-term care unit to monitor the children who come.

If the children who arrive need hospitalization, they are taken to hospitals in Thessaloniki. The problem of the lack of CHILDREN’S NICUs remains where for the whole of NORTHERN GREECE we have 8 ICU beds available in IPPOKRATEIO THESSALONIKI.

The public prosecutor’s investigation is ongoing, the outcome of which we await.

But we should say that the five pediatric doctors of the Naoussa hospital are excellent scientists who have saved many children in the area.

Until now 21 children have come to the Naoussa hospital and had the strep test (Strep Test) and 7 were found to be positive. The three from the environment of the 7-year-old child. They were given antibiotics and went home.

A 9-year-old relative of the 7-year-old who was transported from Naoussa by ambulance in a stable good condition and positive for streptococcus is being treated at GENNIMATAS.

So pay attention to parents.”
