“This is how we solve a problem of many years that has plagued a very large part of our fellow citizens who were severe patients.”
The Minister of Health proceeded with the restoration of a “severe injustice” that plagued oncology and hematology patients Ad. Georgiadis.
As he said to the House, “Under the earlier incorrect administrative directive, oncology and hematologic patients were entitled to blood tests only every 20 days. This created enormous problems in patients who, according to their clinical picture, needed more frequent monitoring, and the result was to be charged by their pockets. “
“Because I have recognized this injustice, by a decision published a short time ago in the Government Gazette, oncology and hematological patients have the opportunity to undergo blood tests as often as necessary by their treating physician, even on a daily basis. This way we solve a problem of many years that tormented a very large part of our fellow citizens, who were heavy patients. All I have to tell them is that I am sorry that I could not end this faster, “said Mr. Georgiadis, addressing members of the Parliamentary Committee who elaborated on the Memorandum of Understanding Greece-Saudi Arabia in the field of Health.
