Concerns Raised Over Pediatric Surgery Position at Larissa’s University Hospital
Basilis Kokkalis, Deputy Parliamentary Representative and SYRIZA MP for Larissa, has questioned Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis regarding the recent elimination of a pediatric surgery position at the Larissa University General Hospital. The decision has raised alarms about the hospital’s ability to serve the healthcare needs of Thessaly and Central Greece, especially as it moves personnel from critical areas like pediatric surgery to less critical fields such as endocrinology. Kokkalis seeks clarity on the rationale behind this reallocation and its implications for public health.
