An important benefit of the certification of Nuclear Medicine Departments is the improvement in terms of patient management, setting high quality criteria for the services provided. Amongst other things, it is also worth noting the continuous improvement and strict observance of radiation protection parameters for patients, their relatives and centre staff, organisational improvement of the daily operation of the Nuclear Medicine departments, and finally the promotion of high standards of medical education, practice and healthcare.

"Undoubtedly, the certification of the services provided, highlights the quality and safety of the Group's health services. In this particular case, the work that has been done so far paves the way, as the existence of certified medical units is included as a basic prerequisite in health programmes and collaboration with approved bodies,” stressed Dr Manousakas.

For his part, the Country Medical Director of Affidea Greece, Mr Dimitrios Daravigas, said: "The cornerstone of the creation of Affidea was the common desire of the scientists of the team, not only to meet the real needs of patients, but also to bring science and health services closer to patients. The consistency in the valid and complete diagnosis, and the respect in the examinee, have today established Affidea as the most reliable primary healthcare provider in Greece, contributing significantly to the work of the medical community and to the improvement of the quality of life of the citizens."
