"We have not cut back, on the contrary we are adding," says Sotirios Zavalianis, owner of the Beroun Rehabilitation Hospital.

"In our AKESO Holding healthcare facilities, despite the coveted period, we continue to expand our building capacities, renew our equipment and set innovations to continuously improve the already high level of care for our patients," says Sotirios Zavalianis.

This is evidenced by the ongoing construction of the Mental Rehabilitation Centre on the premises of the Beroun Hospital, which was visited today by MEPs Marian Jurecka and Tomáš Zdechovský.

"With this project, we would like to show that it is possible to do psychiatry at a high level even in Czech conditions. We want to be an example not only for the rest of the country, but for the whole of Europe," said Sotirios Zavalianis.

"Today I had the opportunity to visit the Rehabilitation Hospital in Beroun and talk to the owner Sotirios Zavalianis and I can say that it was a very interesting and inspiring meeting. Seeing how great a level of healthcare can be done is a great message and an appeal to us politicians to move healthcare in the Czech Republic not only towards better efficiency, but also towards better access," Marian Jurečka, President of the Christian Democratic Union of Czechoslovakia, described today's visit to the hospital. "I certainly have to say a huge thank you to everyone, nurses and doctors, who are often working beyond the call of duty at this time."

The meeting was also attended by MEP Tomáš Zdechovský, who recently helped out at the Beroun hospital's covid ward as an orderly. "The atmosphere in this hospital is incredibly good, the people here stick together and only thanks to them the situation is manageable. This hospital is proof that healthcare can be done efficiently, without European or regional subsidies."
