In 4 years, the Center has treated over 30,000 patients. Eva, one of the Center’s administrators, points out that Greeks and foreigners are treated equally. Currently, native Greeks represent 70% of the Center’s clients. These are people unable to pay their premiums, and are thus banned from the National Health Service. Those who have been unemployed for a long time, including professionals and shop owners who had to close down their businesses, make up the majority of the Center’s patients. Severe health conditions and psychiatric cases are on the rise: people usually only go to the Center when their situation becomes critical. This only further complicates work for the medical team and reduces the chances of recovery for the patients.
