“It is literally an emergency, at this moment, to build the NHS”, said Stefanos Kasselakis, after his visit to the Preveza Hospital.
“Instead of calling the nurses, doctors, ordinary citizens “infidels” and “little people”, the government should listen to them and finally give the Greek citizen Health as a right. As a right from birth to the end of life of every human being. May the Greek man and woman have quality public health care”, stressed the president of SYRIZA.
He invited citizens and NHS workers who see problems in the National Health System to update the website isyriza.gr.
The statement of Stefanos Kasselakis
“This is a mockery of neoliberal policy, in a country where 40% of the health expenditure is private, from the pockets of the Greek citizen, over and above what he has already paid in taxes. With hospitals which are completely understaffed, with workers who serve their function with enormous precariousness, with very low salaries, with enormous over-pastoralism. And unfortunately we have reached the point where instead of these people hearing “thank you” from society, people lash out at them. For what reason; Because they can’t take it anymore.
Instead of calling the nurses, doctors, and ordinary citizens “infidels” and “little people”, the government should listen to them and finally give the Greek citizen Health as a right. As a right from birth to the end of life of every human being. May Greek men and women have quality public health. This is what we must do.
Out of profit from the NHS, be it PPP or afternoon surgeries. Out of the profit from the National Social Security. Let’s invest what is needed so that Greek men and women can have Health. It is not possible that human life – whether it is hospitals or a woman in front of a police station or the railway – cannot be just another number and only when someone has a relative MP do we learn about it. It is literally an emergency, right now, to fix the NHS. And I’m not just referring to the country’s finances, for the tourist product. Now we are talking about human life, about the productivity of every Greek, every Greek woman. The ability to be able to live with his family, especially outside urban centers, which is very important.
Over here, with our excellent team, with our MP, Kostas Barkas, Marios Katsis, Myrto Korovesis, MEP candidates – I encourage you to get to know all our MEP candidates – we are launching a new policy model. It is a model that is grounded in society. It is a model that will guarantee citizens that their representation will come through all the time. He will listen and be accountable. He won’t stand on the channels mocking them. This arrogance will end. The glass tower of the one-person Maximos will end. A new model of politics will begin in our country. Another relationship between politicians and citizens. I guarantee this.
And the first step is in our Health system, which I urge citizens and NHS workers to go to isyriza.gr, where we have just started a part of the website where you can post photos and information about the problems you are facing.
The official opposition will become a social opposition and a social current and we will change the country, whether the mechanisms of interests want it or not. We will change the country towards progress. With meritocracy and dignity. Be sure of that.’
