This is no success story

Press Release

"This is no success story"

Since July of 2012, when we started treating cancer patients, working together with the oncology clinic of Sotiria Hospital we have helped 126 patients.  Unfortunately we also lost ten of them and some of these left orphaned children.

These 126 cancer patients are, of course, just a fraction of our 4,000 patients and of the 16,000 cases we have treated at the Metropolitan Community Clinic at Helliniko in the 23 months of our existence.  All our patients together are only a drop in the ocean of three million uninsured citizens that the governments of the last three years have excluded from our public health system.

The following allegations and observations of two of our patients were presented in the in the program “We Walk Together” on the web channel Vmedia on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTlI_5rV-go&list=UUFbRfPGLp-EsXtB8MLWQ3Eg  - (This video is in Greek)

These testimonials are a response to the leaders in power that turn a deaf ear and stubbornly pursue policies which lead individuals to miserable consequences when they need support at such difficult moments. 

We also include statistics concerning the 126 cancer patients which show clearly the immensity of their crime and the consequences of the state’s cruelty towards the uninsured – especially toward cancer patients.
