Evangelismos

A coach bus veered off the road and crashed into a utility pole on Lavriou Avenue in Paiania, eastern Attica, just before 6 a.m. on Monday. 

The 57-year-old driver sustained minor injuries and was transported to Athens' Evangelismos Hospital for treatment. No passengers were on board at the time of the incident. 

The cause of the accident is being investigated.

The investigation of special appellate investigator Sotiris Baikamis into the deadly collision between a freight and a passenger train at Tempe in central Greece on February 28, 2023 is continuing with the appointment of a new expert - a specialist in oils and fuels - as well as orders for new sampling and chemical analysis of materials removed from the accident site.

Afternoon surgeries for a fee in the country's public hospitals started on Tuesday, as part of Health Ministry efforts to boost the National Health System (ESY) and make it more attractive to surgeons and anesthetists.

After four years, Evangelismos Hospital in downtown Athens operates without any Covid-19 cases, hospital director and board president Anastasios Grigoropoulos announced on social media on Thursday.

Grigoropoulos described the development as "hopeful," but cautioned against premature optimism regarding the pandemic's end.

The first afternoon surgery will be held on March 12 at Papageorgiou Hospital in Thessaloniki, Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis said in an interview with Skai TV on Thursday.

Construction company AVAX Group gave a tour to press representatives on Thursday of the Katehaki metro tunnel, where work is being carried out for Line 4 of Athens metro.

The first 700 meters of tunnel has already been opened by the first of the two tunnel boring machines deployed. The final destination is Evangelismos station, in central Athens.

People look at designs of future Athens metro stations. Closing the matter once and for all regarding the construction of the Evangelismos station on Line 4 of the metro at Rizari park in central Athens, Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Nikos Tachias stressed on Wednesday that work will start and progress as it did with Exarchia. "No metro station will be abandoned," he said.

Hellenic Metro will have to conduct a study to minimize the impact on Rizari Park by the construction of the Evangelismos station on Line 4 because the required technical environmental study it submitted last April has not been approved, according to a ruling by the Council of State.

The Council of State has upheld a petition to suspend work on Evangelismos station of the Athens metro's extension until a proper technical and environmental impact report is filed.
