Doctors and workers blocked an afternoon surgery scheduled at the Ioannina Hospital for Friday, April 26, for a cancer patient, stressing that it is not possible not to have a morning surgery for the cancer patient and to force him to pay.
In fact, after the intervention of the Epirus Hospital Doctors Association (EINI), breakfast and a free surgery were planned for the patient on the same day.
We will not leave them in the lurch, states a statement from DIPAK
“We will block the afternoon surgeries in practice!!! They were not instituted to reduce the lists. They were established to make hospitals businesses with a price list of costing life and human suffering,” the Union’s announcement emphasizes.
The announcement of DIPAK
“Afternoon paid pancreatic Ca surgery canceled and same day breakfast comes in, emergency, no pay!
For Friday 26/4, an afternoon paid surgery was planned at PAGNI, pancreatic cancer.
Our faction in the PGNI, ASY PGNI released a notice of complaint from Friday 19/4 and called on everyone: commander, director of surgery, the deputy minister of the ND Mrs. Kefala who had come to visit “the village” at the PGNI to take a stand and transfer the surgery without payment in the morning hours, as an emergency.
The announcement was released to media and PGNI and caused a sensation, great acceptance by colleagues.
EINI, at the initiative of DIPAK, yesterday sent a corresponding request to the commander of the PGNI, in which he requested that the surgery be entered as an emergency in the morning hours.
Afternoon Paid Pancreatic Ca Surgery CANCELED!!! and will enter the morning schedule, as it should.
This was confirmed a little while ago by the commander of PGNI, Mr. Derdemezis, to the president of EINI, Babis Pappa, after a personal intervention he made.
This is the way!
We will not leave them in the lurch!
We will do everything in our power to expose all the ugliness that their policy produces.
We all need to keep our ears open for relevant information in each hospital.
We will block the afternoon surgeries in practice!!!
They were not instituted to reduce the lists. They were instituted to make hospitals price-list businesses of life and human suffering.
They were instituted to “become a normal European country”, as stated by the Deputy Minister of Health Vartzopoulos!!!
If it weren’t for our intervention the afternoon paid cancer surgery would normally take place on Friday.
We communicate the news, it’s a competitive victory!
We are on the lookout for everything!!!”
