Adonis Georgiadis tried to respond to the complaints of the doctors in Samos, when it became known in the wake of what is happening at the hospital, that the administrator resigned.
With their announcement, the doctors sent a dramatic warning that the hospital of Samos is collapsing, giving as a typical example the pediatric clinic, as the only pediatrician is hospitalized in Athens with stroke symptoms, due to the exhausting hours and overwork.

The Samos hospital is not the only one facing understaffing problems, as almost similar problems exist in all regional hospitals. The “solutions” of moving doctors from hospital to hospital with express procedures are clearly not a permanent solution.
Especially in the summer months, the workload is increased on the islands, with the result that the limited staff far exceed their physical capacities.
