Greece’s Tourism Minister Vassilis Kikilias attended the opening of the World Health Organization (WHO) office in the Hellenic Republic’s capital for the Quality of Care and Safety of Patients.
The selection of this country as the seat of the office of WHO was a recognition of the work of Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the Ministry of Health, and the Greek government in dealing with the epidemiological situation caused by the Coronavirus and its new strains and implementing Public Health policies, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
Such a decision was announced back in 2020, during the visit of the Minister of Tourism to Copenhagen, Denmark, and the meeting he had with the Regional Director of the WHO for Europe, Hans Kluge.
It was followed by the signing of the agreement for the new Office of the WHO, in Greece’s capital held by Kikilias and Kluge, on April 15, 2021, at the Ministry of Health.
Minister Kikilias described the official opening of the WHO office in Athens as “proof of everything we have achieved in the last two years, everything we have managed to overcome in battle with the COVID-19 pandemic “.
“This ambitious project started exactly one year ago, in April 2021, in the midst of a catastrophic crisis for Public Health, a humanitarian crisis. I am proud to see that our efforts continue through the unparalleled support, determination, and guidance of our Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis,” the minister pointed out.
In addition, the Minister of Tourism stressed that medical tourism in Greece is under the guidance of the WHO.
“A framework that aims to cover all aspects of medical tourism and wellness tourism for those who visit our country,” the Minister of Tourism pointed out.
Greece is among European countries that have managed to welcome a large number of international visitors despite the high rates of COVID-19 infection and prevent profound damages to the travel and tourism industry.
In addition, authorities in Greece previously announced that they aspire to reach the pre-pandemic figures during this year.
Such comments came from Tourism Minister Kikilias while he highlighted the importance of the tourism sector as an important contributor to the survival of the “average Greek family during times of crisis.”
According to the figures provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), authorities in the Hellenic Republic have reported a total of 2,788,654 cases of COVID-19 infection and 26,937 deaths since the start of the pandemic.
However, despite such figures and the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, Greece’s government decided to abolish many restrictions imposed to halt the further spread of the virus.
