Old Buildings of Athalassa Hospital Deemed Structurally Unsafe – Unions Warn of Serious Risks

The unions PASYNO and PASYKI are reporting that the old buildings of Athalassa Hospital have been deemed structurally unsafe, putting the safety of patients, staff, and visitors at risk. They state that this situation is the result of years of neglect by the state, despite their repeated warnings. The unions consider the continued operation of services in these buildings unacceptable and dangerous, and demand immediate accountability and acceleration of the procedures for the construction of the second phase of the hospital. They also call for a commitment to build a new, modern, and safe mental health hospital. They warn of dynamic actions if there are no immediate results.
