Dr. Vihas at the Hellinikon Social Clinic on December 4, 2012. Dr. Giorgos Vihas is the driving force behind the Hellinikon Solidarity Medical Center. He is a cardiologist and works in a public hospital in the mornings, but he convinced the mayor of the Hellinikon neighborhood to help set up this medical center, which served the neighborhood last year. Since this summer, people from all over Athens have been coming here to get treated or vaccinate their children. Last June, Vihas met Eleni K., who had aggressive breast cancer and had not received treatment for two years because her family could no longer pay for her treatment. Eleni was a middle-class housewife who, since the crisis, was no longer covered by her private insurance and could no longer afford her treatment. She arrived at the clinic with her tumor as an open wound. Vihas contacted the oncology center of Sotiria Hospital and, together with Dr. Kostas Siriggos and the participation of Sotiria doctors, they ensured that on Wednesday afternoons, cancer patients without insurance are treated free of charge at the hospital.

Volunteers of the Hellinikon medical center fill administrative forms for new patients. For financial reasons patients did not follow their treatment for months and doctors have to examine them before giving them new medicine. Before the crisis, children health booklets were free but now parents have to buy them in paper stationeries. Children medical records are thus collected on a separate sheet of paper.
