Unfortunately, very few private doctors came forward. We thank them.

Taking into account the emergency conditions and the urgent need for treatment of our fellow human beings, the Ministry of Health is ordering personal services of doctors of the specialties of Physicians, Pulmonologists and General Practitioners in Attica”.

The orders will be sent to 206 doctors under the age of 60 collaborating with the National Organisation for Healthcare Services Provision (EOPYY), concerning the specialties of Pathologists, Pulmonologists, and General Practitioners in Attica who are required for one month.
