Investigation into illegal operation of oncology wing at a Thessaloniki clinic
A serious judicial investigation is underway in Thessaloniki regarding the operation of an illegal oncology wing at a private clinic in the city. Authorities are examining complaints about the operation of a fully equipped department that lacked the necessary state permits.
The case began when it was discovered that chemotherapy treatments were being performed at the clinic without the required authorization. Regulatory bodies are now trying to determine how long the specific department had been operating and who was responsible for this illegal activity.
At the same time, the investigation has expanded to include a broader audit regarding medication prescriptions. Authorities are investigating whether there was fraud against insurance funds, as they are examining the possibility that false prescriptions were issued for expensive oncology drugs that were never administered to patients.
The case has caused great concern in the local community, as it involves the health of vulnerable patients. Judicial authorities have seized all relevant clinic documents and are expected to summon the involved doctors and administrative staff to testify.
Investigations are continuing at an intensive pace, while the Ministry of Health has ordered an urgent audit of all private facilities in the region. The goal of the authorities is to ensure the safety of citizens and to assign responsibility for the serious violations that have been identified.
