Post on the occasion of public debate that began in recent days – after her death Lena Samarra – for the Sismanoglio Hospital and the fact that it does not Neurological clinicdid the Adonis Georgiadis. In her, she explains with evidence that “It is not common – neither in Greece nor internationally – every hospital to have all the clinics and all medical specialties”.
In detail:
“Due to the recent tragic event he started a – intense – public debate because he did not have the” Sismanoglio “and a neurological clinic (he never had the event is that he had once and closed for my term of office, had never had to be transported by patients from one hospital to the other, But I accept that some of the ignorance, however, are in good faith, they raise such objections. So, in order not to counterbalance to the absolutely obvious and worldwide acceptable, I have asked the relevant question to artificial intelligence and received the answer that nowhere in the world does not all hospitals have all clinics.
I say this because I also saw some videos on YouTube that accuse me of it (since I am of course blamed for everything):
“Is it common worldwide but also in Greece for hospitals to have all the clinics or are they divided into reference centers depending on the disease?”
“It is not common – neither in Greece nor internationally – every hospital to have all the clinics and all medical specialties.
The organization of the Hospital Charter is based almost everywhere on the principle of specialization and gradation of services.
🌍 internationally
Most health systems (eg US, United Kingdom, France, Germany) distinguish hospitals in categories:
1.Gencard Hospitals
• They cover basic and urgent specialties (pathological, surgery, cardiology, pediatrics, etc.).
• They usually serve a geographical area.
2. Sixized Centers / Reference Centers
• Focus on one or few diseases or specific techniques (eg oncology, cardiac surgery, neurosurgical centers).
• They have technological equipment and specialized staff who are not practical or economical to exist everywhere.
3. University Hospitals / Higher Centers
• They offer almost all specializations, combining care, education and research.
• They often act as national reference centers for rare or complex incidents.
🇬🇷 In Greece
The National Health System (NHS) operates with a similar model:
• Regional Units Hospitals (secondary care)
They cover the basic specialties and the usual incidents of their area.
Example: Rhodes Hospital, Kozani Hospital.
• University and large urban hospitals (tertiary care)
They collect highly specialized clinics (transplants, pediatric surgery, specialized oncology, rare interventions).
Example: “Atticon”, “Evangelism”, “Papanikolaou”.
• Reference centers per disease
There are official or informal, e.g.
• “Saint Savvas” → Oncology
• ‘Onassis’ → Cardiac Surgery
• “Hagia Sophia” → Pediatric Cardiology
• ‘AHEPA’ → Bone Marrow Transplant Unit
📌 Reasons not all hospitals have all clinics
• Equipment and maintenance costs (eg linear accelerators for radiotherapy).
• Lack of specialized staff in small areas.
• Concentration of experience: Rare and complex diseases are best treated in centers with a large number of incidents.
• Rational allocation of resources so that there is no waste »
It is commonly not NSS’s failure that “Sismanoglio” has no neurological clinic as it cannot have everything. Everywhere in the world, depending on the incident we have dumps from one hospital if doctors think they need it.
Don’t see the evil everywhere! “
