New hospital in Kontokali

[Erja]

Hello all,

Saw this report in the Corfu blog about the new hospital in Kontokali and it sounds promising

New Hospital

I had the misfortune to test the new hospital at Kontokali this afternoon. Loved-one had an accident while having his olive trees pruned and the falling branch got the better of him. When I arrived on the scene he was nursing a bump on the head and with his left arm in great pain.

We set off (gently) for the hospital, parked in the lovely spacious car park and made our way through empty corridors to the accident department. A few people in wheelchairs were waiting outside, but we were quickly ushered through, saw a doctor who sent him straight to the radiology department for an x-ray. Again, attended to straight away, and after a couple of minutes we had the x-ray ready to take back to the original doctor. He called an orthopaedic doctor, who came very quickly and diagnosed a fracture and proceeded to put the arm in plaster and a sling.
All this took less than an hour and all the staff we saw spoke excellent English.

So far so good, Let's hope that the long awaited hospital continues to provide such brilliant service once the summer season begins and the population of the island increases.

Sounds good - didn't realise it had opened. Eileen would have been glad of that last year when her mum was ill.

Sure would have Sandy.  Despite the good care at the old hospital the facilities were abysmal. x

I wonder if this new place needs a couple of nurses?
