Read here the full statement of Alexis Tsipras:

No matter how much the mood to contribute, no matter how much the attitude of each of us plays personally towards the disabled neighbour, friend, or fellow citizen, nothing radically changes without a robust Health System. What is being decomposed by today’s government – What we will be reinforcing from day one.

In the New YOU that we have announced, we are shaping the infrastructures of hospitals and health centres so that it is easy to access people with disabilities.

We develop comprehensive healthcare services in-home care and nursing.

The goal is one and absolute: To put into practice the slogan of the disability movement “Nothing for us without us”.
