Old Buildings of Athallasas Hospital Structurally Unsound, Unions Warn

The PASYNO and PASYKI unions are warning of serious risks facing workers and patients at Athallasas Hospital due to the structural unsoundness of the old buildings. The static study confirms the long-standing warnings of the unions, which were ignored by the state. They accuse the state of allowing critical mental health services to continue operating in buildings that do not meet even the basic safety standards, despite repeated interventions. They demand immediate accountability from the state, acceleration of the procedures for the construction of the second phase of the hospital, information on the results of the study, and immediate protective measures. The unions warn that they will not accept the exposure of workers and patients to danger and will take dynamic action if there are no immediate developments.
