Defense Min Dendias leads meeting on health care reform at the Armed Forces

National Defense Minister Nikos Dendias chaired a broad meeting on Friday on progress in implementing the health care reform at the Armed Forces, part of the major reform plan 'Agenda 2030'.

The aim, it was announced, was to provide the best possible health care conditions to Armed Forces officers, their families, and retirees. 

Among issues discussed at the meeting were upgrading of medical equipment at military hospitals, possibilities of saving expenditures through a unified information system (which will be donated by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation), and the setting up of a Trauma Center at the 401 Army hospital that would serve as a model for all Greek hospitals, a statement said.

Besides top-level officials, also attending were NIMTS military hospital governor Andreas Plemmenos and Harvard Medical School professor of surgery Dr George Velmachos, who is also chief of the Trauma, Emergency Surgery and Surgical Critical Care Division at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).
