Andreas Iliadis

Health Minister Thanos Plevris on Friday once again refuted the allegations made by the lawyer of Roula Pispirigou during her trial that the head of pediatric intensive care at Patra University Hospital, Andreas Iliadis, was involved in selling organs abroad, describing them as both provocative and false.

The tacit accusation by a prominent defense attorney who suggested that the head of pediatric intensive care at the Patra University Hospital, Andreas Iliadis, was selling organs abroad, has sparked reactions and raised concerns that such scurrilous claims harm the credibility of what is a very transparent system. 

An eight-year-old boy with Covid-19 who had been treated in the intensive care unit of a hospital in western Greece after developing symptoms similar to those of the rare inflammatory Kawasaki-like disease was transferred to the paediatric clinic on Thursday after his health improved.
