Shortages of equipment and staff in the health sector have resulted in two key Athens hospitals, the Alexandra and the Elena Venizelou, borrowing from each other and third parties, according to the Federation of Public Hospital Workers (POEDIN).

General Electric (GE) has made a fresh $20 million investment in its transformer facility in the northwestern district of Gebze in a bid to meet the country's equipment needs for renewable power plants, which have recently been on the rise. 

U.S. Ambassador to Ankara John Bass has downplayed the importance of national borders on the way to economic development during his visit to a number of technology companies in the northwestern district of Gebze.

General Electric announced on Dec. 31 that it had won a contract worth nearly $1 billion from the Saudi Electricity Company to build and supply a power plant in northern Saudi Arabia.

Under the contract, the U.S. industrial giant will build the Waad Al Shamal combined-cycle power plant and provide four advanced gas turbines, a steam turbine and turbine maintenance services.

European competition officials have suspended their review of General Electric's proposed $14 billion acquisition of the energy business of French rival Alstom.

The European Commission's suspension of the review procedural and does not signify a major barrier to winning approval, GE spokesman Seth Martin said on May 11.

As investigations continued into the cause of the deadly crash, health minister Zlatibor Loncar said on Monday that it was necessary to fly the baby to Belgrade because the child needed to be treated in a larger and better-equipped health centre.

One of Thomas Edison's little-known ambitions was to build a device to hear the voices of the dead, according to a nearly lost chapter of the inventor's memoirs which is being republished in France this week.
