Minister's statement on clinic authorization
Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis said the clinic where singer Giorgos Mazwnakis suffered a cardiac arrest held a permit only for a simple pathology office. He noted that the facility was not authorized to perform plasmapheresis, the procedure Mazwnakis was scheduled to undergo.
Request for professional investigation
Georgiadis announced he has asked the Athens Medical Association (ISA) to examine the case. He referred to the location as a "supposed clinic" and stressed that the existing permit did not allow advanced medical acts such as plasmapheresis.
Context of the incident
Mazwnakis experienced cardiac arrest while at the facility. The minister's comments focus on licensing rather than the medical details of the emergency. No further official statements on patient condition or clinic response have been released at this time.
