I choose to become a doctor because Health is a priority for all of us. Then I choose Family Medicine because I realized that prevention is better than cure. People are usually anxious to find a cure for a disease. In fact, prevention is the catalyst.<\/p>\n

As a primary care physician I have had to offer my services several times in remote areas. The challenges in providing health services in these areas are a lot. The Covid-19 pandemic and the emerging needs for both virus suppression and remote assistance to people in need have helped bringing digital health technologies to the forefront, primarily for the benefit of the patient and to facilitate medical project.<\/p>\n

New places and people, new friends, different experiences and habits, a lot of effort, a lot of reading but also real joy are some of the words that characterize my student years.<\/p>\n

What stuck in my memory is the combination of feelings of excitement and anxiety of most of my classmates when we started the first clinical classes at the University Hospital and our contact with patients! I think then I realized the responsibility I had towards the patient!<\/p>\n

I work as General Practitioner\/Coordinator in a Local Primary Healthcare Unit (TOMY) of Ampelokipi, Larissa, where I take care of more than 2,000 people who have chosen me as their family doctor.<\/p>\n

On a daily basis in my office I monitor the progress of my patients’ health in terms of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity. I inform and advise patients on issues related to the prevention and promotion of health such as vaccinations and the necessary screening tests in the context of primary and secondary prevention. However, apart from the scheduled appointments, I also deal with emergencies such as malaise, infections, injuries for which one can visit the doctor’s office.<\/p>\n

What I enjoy most is the contact and relationship I have developed over the years with my patients. I know most of them by their first name!<\/p>\n

What would be important for the future is the link between primary health care and public health. Assessing and recording the needs of the general population but also of vulnerable populations (Roma, refugees, unemployed, people with disabilities) is the first step in planning and implementing actions to prevent and promote health<\/p>\n

My advice to young women is: “Do not try to fit in where they do not see you, do not hear you and do not recognize you. Create your own reality. “Start your own business or start your own project with the people you want to work with<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
