Mitsotakis from Velestino: jewelry the renovated health center in the area

The prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited the morning the Velestin Health Centerwhich was completely renovated, with resources of the recovery fund, for the first time since the 1980s when it began operating.

The Prime Minister, accompanied by the Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadis and the Deputy Minister Irene Agapidakishe had the opportunity to see closely the new, upgraded areas of the Health Center and to chat with medical and nursing staff.

“I would like to congratulate the leadership of the Ministry of Health, the Commander, on the speed at which they managed and implemented this very important project for the wider area of ​​Velestino.

What we saw today I think is talking on its own. Residents in the area know much better than me in what the health center was a year ago, and I think they now see that they have a “jewelry” health center, with state -of -the -art equipment and with all seats covered or in the process of coverage.

And I think it is the best proof of the way in which European resources are used, especially the resources of the Recovery Fund, for the benefit of all citizens.

What we see here today in Velestino is just one of the 160 health centers across the country that are renovated and delivered brand new and state -of -the -art for use to Greek citizens.

I think it is the best proof of the interest that the government shows in practice for health, especially for primary care. And let me stand here again to the great importance I attribute to the “Prevent” program, which has an increasing response from citizens.

I recall that the Ministry of Health is called the Ministry of Health and not a Ministry of Disease and we must prevent the disease before it occurs. And the best way to do so is by participating in preventive exam programs and if the non -generated programs are identified anything, beyond that we follow the instructions of the experts.

One last observation has to do with the need to support primary care structures especially in the region. There is a great reason for the demographic problem that our country is facing, to support the region. When citizens in the district feel that they have quality health services, then they will be much easier to stay in their place and we will be much easier to attract citizens to leave large urban centers and come to the region.

So again, congratulations on this very beautiful health center and unnecessary to be, but it won’t be for that and we made it. Thank you very much“, The prime minister said during his visit.

Georgiadis: One of the most beautiful in Greece the Velestin Health Center

Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis said:

“Mr President, about a year ago with Irene, Ms. Agapidakis, we signed the contract for the region’s health centers.

Here, in Velestino, the building was in a miserable state. It had been renovated for 40 years since the Health Center was built.

We deliver you today -and in the world here of Velestin and the wider region, one of the most beautiful Health Centers in Greece, with all the forecasts provided by the Protocols of Health, fully equipped and full of staff to cover the wider area. “

Deputy Minister of Health Irene Agapidakis noted:

“President, we continue the effort, as you have set the goals to move forward immediately and by the end of the year we have 160 health centers renovated throughout the country.

At the same time, we establish 312 chronic diseases in order to be able to find these people we find with the “prevent” from having chronic diseases, we can and better guide them in community management. “

The prime minister was guided to the premises of the Health Center by the Commander of the 5th Health District Fotis Seretis and the director of KY Fani Sarigiannis.

Indeed, you were wounded by a major disaster two years ago, but the obligation of the state, through all the competent bodies and, above all, state relief, is to stand close to our fellow citizens who are affected and as soon as possible to be able to go back to your feet, which you are happy your great work »the prime minister pointed out.
