“Let’s go for a new record of transplants in 2025,” Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis said, in the context of processing by the relevant parliamentary committee, which ratify Greek agreements with the Republic of Cyprus in the field of transplants and in the field of transplants and in the field of transplants and in the field cross -transplantation of kidney transplants.

The relevant bills were accepted by a large majority of party representatives to the House Committee on Social Affairs (“yes” by ND, PASOK and SYRIZA, “present” by KKE and KO Niki, and “reservation” by the other parties).

As Mr Georgiadis said, the ND government received the transplants to 4 donors per million inhabitants, raised them to 10.7 in 2024, and, “from the first details of the first month of 2025, the 2025 We will have a new record of transplants. ” He added that because we want to reach the “20” of the northern countries, we have taken a series of measures:

  1. We hired 20 coordinators to the National Transplant Organization, who are specialist doctors and inform relatives and staff of hospitals,
  2. We approved a € 20 million program at the EOM, through the Recovery Fund, to make the entire transplant system completely digital, for transparency and speed,
  3. We are preparing a mass messaging program to the mobile phones of all our fellow citizens who will come in with Taxisnet codes, and declare whether they want or do not want to be donors to make a very large database that will quickly lead us to European average. So he added, we will overcome the old issue created by the so -called “suspected consensus”.

At the same time, Mr. Georgiadis, who said, is a donor of compatible organs and bone marrow, encouraged “all Members of Parliament to do so if they have not done so. It is a shame for Greece not to be in 20 donors per million as the northern countries are. [. . .] Giving life before we “leave”, to our other fellow citizens I think is an amazing act of human solidarity. “

Finally, and on the occasion of a criticism of the health coverage of refugees in Samos, Mr. Georgiadis stressed that “the idea that we do not give you care because you are an illegal immigrant is false. [. . .] Greece is a country of culture, and anyone who needs care is receiving it. ” He made it clear, however, that “anyone who enters a country illegally has violated the country’s legislation. That is why I call them illegal immigrants and not “plain” immigrants. I’ve said it many times. My views are always the same and have never changed, ”said Mr. Georgiadis.-
