We remain committed to our pledge to keep open lines of communication with the local communities of Thessaloniki, Komotini, and Sparta throughout the construction of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) SNF University Pediatric Hospital of Thessaloniki, the new SNF General Hospital of Komotini, and the new SNF General Hospital of Sparta, respectively, and we are organizing another round of townhall meetings in these three regions.
Representatives of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), the Ministry of Health, construction contractor AVAX Group, and Project Manager Hill International, will participate in the meetings.
Deputy Minister of Health Marios Themistocleous will take part in the discussions, while the SNF Co-President, Andreas Dracopoulos, will deliver a greeting via live link.
The schedule of the townhall meetings is as follows:
- SNF University Pediatric Hospital of Thessaloniki: Monday, February 2, at 18:00 at the Filyro Municipal Gymnasium
- SNF General Hospital of Komotini: Tuesday, February 3, at 18:00 at REX Theater
- SNF General Hospital of Sparta: Monday, February 9, at 18:00; the venue will be announced soon.
The design, construction, and outfitting of the SNF University Pediatric Hospital of Thessaloniki, the SNF General Hospital of Komotini, and the SNF General Hospital of Sparta are part of SNF’s Global Health Initiative (GHI), a $1 billion effort fully funded by SNF. The development of the three state-of-the-art new SNF hospitals reflects a vision shared by SNF and internationally renowned architect Renzo Piano for the creation of model hospitals of the future, based on a deeply human-centered approach and incorporating pioneering environmental standards. Upon completion of the construction and outfitting process, the three new SNF hospitals will be delivered to the Greek state for immediate operation within the framework of the National Health System.
