The Chairman of the Group, Dr Georgios Stamatiou commented on the results:

“For the year 2016, the healthcare industry operated under adverse financial and social circumstances, and with several fluctuations and hardship. For one more year, the results were greatly affected by EOPYY’s (Greek National Organization for the Provision of Health Services) policy, with its multiple interventions and reforms, and by the unmet announcements and commitments, while high cuts through the implementation of the Rebate and Claw-back mechanisms were maintained. In addition, the financial results were also affected by changes in real-estate values and share-holdings in other companies of the Group and in the mother-company in particular.

For us, IASO’s family, 2016 was a milestone as we celebrated our 20 years of operation. We feel very proud because we managed to grow, while remaining leaders in the industry. We owe a big “thank you” to the hundreds of thousands of our patients and their numerous escorts and relatives, who placed their trust with us. I am really proud and I express my gratitude to all those who worked hard and realized our company’s strategy and practices in a coordinated manner to ensure considerable added value to all.

I wish and believe that all of us shall continue working actively to further improve the quality of our provided services and excellent assistance to all of our patients. We shall continue responding promptly and respectfully to their requests, and we shall continue being trustworthy and available to contribute in any way in order to materialize our common goal -the provision of high standard healthcare services to our fellow men who now, at this particular time, need it more than ever.”
