What Adonis Georgiadis said
Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis said of his own cancer case in Crete:
“First of all my condolences to the Autograph family. I immediately contacted the hospital administration to see what happened. I would like to say that the article is not true. An appointment for treatment in his absence is also recorded electronically. And he could not attend the second date. The drug has been missing from Greece for exactly 24 hours. We have resolved this medication issue within 24 hours. For this particular patient, there wasn't even a 24-hour shortage because we traced it from warehouses. Now I don't want to tell about someone who decided to end their life, it's very sad. But the NHS is not responsible.”
