Referring to how the procedure will be done, he said that the Hospitals themselves will contact the patients who are on a waiting list from 4 months to a year, from the one who waits the longest to the least, in order to book the surgery appointment.
How many do the free afternoon surgeries apply to?
As Mr. Georgiadis said, the free afternoon surgeries concern 37,500 operations. It is a very large number and if these surgeries are carried out, they will reduce the waiting time in the surgeries and clear the lists. People waiting more than six months on waiting lists are 65,000.
Regarding the OENGE hospital doctors’ strike, Mr. Georgiadis said: “All that they are asking for, wage increases and hiring, the government is already doing.”
Regarding the problems and shortcomings observed in the National Health System, Mr. Georgiadis emphasized that “today the NHS works better than ever, for example most hospitals no longer have ranches”.
