Leros Medical Centre Responds to Complaints Before Opening

The Leros Medical Centre issued a statement clarifying its operating and licensing status after the company said it had received reports of complaints alleging that the facility was working without the required permits.

ASKO Group IKE said the medical centre had not yet begun operating and was not accepting patients for diagnostic examinations or treatment.

All licensing and administrative procedures required by law were still being completed, the company said. Services would start only after those procedures had concluded and the necessary approvals had been obtained.

Preparing the premises, installing equipment, putting up exterior signs and informing the public about the services planned for the centre did not mean that it had opened, the statement added.

The company said it respected inspections by the relevant authorities and was available to provide any evidence or clarification requested.

Its objective remained the creation of a modern healthcare facility on Leros, operating in accordance with the law and with respect for island residents.

A formal announcement would be issued later to confirm the centre's opening date and when it would receive its first patients.
