Greek Patients In Dramatic Position From Lack Of Medicines - Appeal To UN


In Greece you could grow old waiting for an ambulance, while the nation’s pharmacies have received on 50 percent of government income owed, and they have warned that if they do not receive the rest or a solution is found by next Monday then they will take further action. Meanwhile, the Medical Association of Athens appealed to the UN, emphasizing that ‘thousand of Greek patients are in a dramatic situation, and hospitals are currently unable to meet pharamaceutical care needs because of a default by one of the biggest insurers. Hopefully after the new Health Minister is sworn in a solution will be given to this problem which is literally crippling our society, especially the elderly population. The situation is even more dramatic for tens of thousands of citizens who are battling with serious diseases such as cancer.
