Continuing the tribute entitled “province my love” we visited Cyclades presenting the image that we formed in the prefecture – from communication we had with the Agents for the healthcare industry. The participants are Insurance Intermediaries of five Banks (Interamerican, National, INTERSALONIKA, Globe Insurance and Agricultural Insurance).
Perhaps the most important reason for insurers for being in the islands of the Cyclades. The Cyclades is a cluster of 33 islands and many smaller islands which at best have a medical center. These medical centers most often have shortages in supplies and personnel and can not take cases even simple interventions.
Health Insurance
Perhaps the most important reason for insurers in the islands of the Cyclades. The Cyclades is a cluster of 33 islands and many smaller islands which at best have a medical center. These medical centers most often have shortages in supplies and personnel and can not take cases even simple interventions.
Doctors most often given a referral to the patient in the only hospital of the county, on the island of Syros. Diagnostic centers and private polyclinics are in the large and crowded islands of Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos and Syros, but it cost to the visitor if they do not have a private health policy.
The problem is even more complicated when the patient must be urgently transferred to Athens. The doctors in the centre of Ambulance are very strict regarding the movement of a patient, considering unnecessary often transporting them under symptomatology.
When the transfer is approved, the airlift rarely comes directly endangering the lives of patients. There are cases where they perform other aero medical cases, so they ‘re unable to serve anyone else.
There are few times, the insurers told, where island residents use their acquaintances military and politicians to use vessels of the port or super puma army to “save” their people.
Under these conditions the Insurers said that the world has understood that insurance for their health is not a luxury but essential.
