G. Oikonomou to EINAP: I do not transfer responsibilities to anyone, decisions are made based on the capabilities of the system

“What I said yesterday in the briefing to the political authors is that ‘the decision on who and when is intubated is a decision made on purely medical grounds by people who have the knowledge and responsibility to take it,'” he said. His statement was made by the Deputy Minister in spite of the Prime Minister and government representative Giannis Oikonomou, responding to the letter of the Board of Directors of EINAP.

He emphasizes that this obviously does not transfer responsibilities to anyone, since decisions are always made based on the capabilities of the system. “After all, the health workers themselves, who have been on the front lines since the beginning of the pandemic, are better aware than anyone else of the efforts that have been made to strengthen the NSS and add hundreds of new ICUs to the system in a very short time. “also the pressure on even the most powerful health systems in the world, and the fact that before the pandemic there was a waiting list for ICUs.”

The government spokesman also stressed that the last thing he and the government would do would be to oppose those who fight daily to save lives. “What we are doing is trying to equip them as best we can to win this war,” he said.
