Athens Workers Launch Primary Care An Athens labour club (Nea Smyrni) has recently launched an initiative to provide free primary care and medication, primarily to unemployed and uninsured people in the area. The Medical House and Pharmacy, staffed by doctors, nurses and pharmacists, has been created following concerns with the attacks on public hospitals by Troika and the government, resulting in 3.5 million in the country suffering a ban from public hospitals and being forced to pay medical bills in their entirety, without access to a public insurance contribution. Further factors across the country include a rapid reduction in life expectancy, an enormous number of unvaccinated children and a rise of health conditions on the back of the crisis, including mental illness.
