A delegation of about 25 hospital doctors from Australia visited the General Hospital of Rhodes this week as part of a tour of medical facilities across the Dodecanese.
The group, representing various specialties, will continue their visit to Kos to assess services there.
According to Michalis Sokorelos, deputy director of Rhodes Hospital, the visiting doctors were “thrilled” with the hospital’s operations and facilities.
“They found that we operate flawlessly … and told us we are in a much better situation than similar regional hospitals in Australia,” he said.
Guided by Sokorelos and Vasilis Ziogas, director of nursing services, the visitors toured departments including emergency care and operating theatres, reviewed hospital data on surgeries and patient care, and met with staff and patients.
They also inspected ongoing renovation works and praised the hospital’s condition and high standards of care.
