Work begins to create the first family room for relatives of children receiving treatment at “Agia Sophia” Children’s Hospital.
The first Family Room RMHC in Greece will be housed in an unused property of 310 m2, located within the premises of the Hagia Sophia Children’s Hospital.
The renovation of the space will be carried out by the charitable organization RMHC (Ronald McDonald House Charities Greece) and is expected to be completed within 2024.
The Family Room will be available for daily use and will include kitchen and dining areas, private bathrooms, sleeping rooms, laundry rooms, living room with TV, internet access, and there will also be three family suites for overnight stays.
They will use the hall families of the children who will be treated at the hospital, while the choice of families who will spend the night will be determined in consultation with the hospital, based on criteria of vulnerability and needs.
At the beginning of the works for the creation of the first family room, the Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadis, the Deputy Minister of Health Marios Themistokleous, the joint administrator of the Children’s Hospitals “Agia Sophia” and “P. & A. Kyriakou” Emmanuel Papasavvas and the president of the board of the Ronald McDonald House Charities Hellas Yannis Apostolopoulos.
The Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, after thanking the donors, emphasized that “at this time, despite the rumours, we are building the new National Health System with a great vision for the future. With state money, we are carrying out the largest building upgrade program in all of Greece, through money from the Recovery Fund. 85 out of 105 hospitals and 156 out of 618 health centers are being completely renovated. But we also accept donations from donors who want to strengthen our efforts. And so today we welcome a sponsorship, which in less than 12 months will deliver to the Greek people for use, within these two hospitals, which together constitute the largest pediatric hospital in the Balkans, a place of dignity for the families who bring the their children, so that they can stay for a short time in a beautiful place, close to their children when they undergo the necessary treatments”.
