The Syros General Hospital the President of PASOK-Movement for Change visited, Nikos Androulakisand met with the medical and nursing staff.

Mr. Androulakis was informed about the problems arising due to the understaffing of the hospital, which covers the health needs not only of Syros but also of the majority of the islands of the Cyclades, where during the summer months, the population grows exponentially.

“The government is dealing with the lack of infrastructure and understaffing with patches, as we saw with today’s initiative of the minister, Mr. Georgiadis, regarding the demand for private doctors. The National Health System needs a large investment to regenerate and offer quality services to citizens, who are being pushed into the private sector,” he noted.

“It is my commitment, the regeneration of the National Health System. The Greek people need a strong social state, – public health and public education – to improve their lives, to have more opportunities and to be faced with less inequalities”, added the President of PASOK-Movement for Change.
