Emergency Cases

The Emergency Department (ED) of Iatriko Psychikou constitutes the first line for the immediate reception, evaluation, diagnosis, and management of patients with urgent and/or acute health problems. It operates continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with no appointment required. Access is easy for pedestrians and vehicles, and the ED is located on the ground floor of the Clinic.

The Department is staffed by experienced physicians of all core specialties, highly trained nurses, and specialized paramedical staff. An advanced triage system is implemented, ensuring immediate and effective care in accordance with international safety protocols.
