There are cases when an EKAB ambulance went from Grevena for an incident (60 mm. with bad road network), while he has been transferred with the help of the police.
The problems are timeless. There have always been shortages of resources and staff that instead of being covered are constantly expanding, since the retired staff is not replaced either.
Especially in the current conditions with the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, that lately (from 5/11) with the outbreak of coronavirus cases in Deskati 3 in 4 samples were found to be positive, proves but also imperatively imposes the need to strengthen the KY as a primary health care system
