What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A criminal investigation in Thessaloniki, Greece, uncovered a private clinic operating a fully equipped oncology unit without a license. The National Transparency Authority found the clinic lacked adequate medical and nursing staff and an operational intensive care unit. The probe expanded into a fraud investigation, alleging doctors prescribed cancer medications to patients who obtained them through Greece's national health insurer. The National Transparency Authority recommended the clinic's permanent closure and revocation of its operating license.
