Αποτελεί τη ναυαρχίδα των διαγνωστικών κέντρων του Ομίλου, τα οποία έχουν παρουσία από την Αλεξανδρούπολη έως την Κρήτη, παρέχοντας υψηλού επιπέδου υπηρεσίες και συνδράμοντας το κοινωνικό σύνολο, στις περιοχές όπου δραστηριοποιούνται. Οι κλινικές και τα διαγνωστικά κέντρα της Euromedica στελεχώνονται από έμπειρο ιατρικό, νοσηλευτικό και παραϊατρικό προσωπικό με στόχο την βέλτιστη εξυπηρέτηση των πολιτών. Είναι μία σημαντική στιγμή για όλο τον όμιλο, καθώς τα εγκαίνια του Εγκέφαλου συστήνουν εκ νέου τον όμιλο Euromedica στο κοινό».
In the same context, the Group’s Director of Primary Health Care, Ms Christina Kapsalaki, noted that “Encephalos Halandri was the first diagnostic center in Greece to install a CT scanner, its name was associated with the pioneer and today it is again recommended to the public as perhaps the most advanced diagnostic center in the country. The plan all along was to put the “Brain” well and truly on the diagnostic map. And the truth is that the result exceeded our expectations. It’s impressive to see the transformation of the building but at the same time to know that the equipment available is also unique.
