Agios Andreas Hospital

Agios Andreas Hospital (Greek: Γενικό Νοσοκομείο Πατρών "Ο Άγιος Ανδρέας") is a hospital in Patras, Achaea, Greece. It is the second largest hospital in the city of Patras and one of the largest in Peloponnese with a total capacity of 400 beds (188 beds in the Internal Medicine sector and 192 beds in the surgical sector).[1] The hospital occupies 5 buildings of which the 3 are situated close to each other. The main multi-storey building of the hospital (built in 1973) was struck by an earthquake in 2008[2] and it is completely restored. Additionally, the central building is upgraded with new medical and hotel equipment. The renovated 7-storey building was finally inaugurated in July 2017[3] after 3 years of delays. This multi-storey building houses the departments of ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology (7th floor), plastic surgery and urology (6th floor), internal medicine/pathology and cardiology (3rd,4th,5th floor) paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology (1st and 2nd floor).
