[01] Alavanos highlights problems at Nikaia Hospital
Visiting the Nikaia General Hospital on Wednesday, the head of the
Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) Alekos Alavanos said the
hospital was in "a pathological state".
He said his party was determined not to allow the last days before the
general elections be dominated by fake handouts promised by the prime
minister or main opposition PASOK's list of state deputies but would
instead highlight social problems like the state of Nikaia Hospital,
which was the largest in the Balkans.
Alavanos underlined that staff shortages at the hospital were currently
at around 30 percent while its emergency room had not operated since
the Olympic Games. He accused the government of abandoning the state
health system.
Earlier, while touring facilities of the ISAP electric railway he
criticised the government's handling of the crisis with the fires and
accused it of now "attempting the largest and most sordid effort to buy
votes seen in recent elections".
