The ‘Laïki Syspirosi’ party in Thessaly is demanding urgent action to address the prolonged inoperability of the CT scanner at Larissa General Hospital, which has been non-functional for a month. They blame the government and regional authorities for delays in installing a new scanner. As a result, patients are being transferred to private clinics and other hospitals, raising concerns about patient safety and excessive costs to the public budget. Overcrowding in the emergency department and staffing shortages have compounded the issue, leading to increased patient distress and inconvenience.
