CLEO (Collaborative Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Outcomes) was established in 2011 to reduce pediatric infections and diseases occurring in hospitals across the country of Greece. The death rate of children resulting from infections contracted while hospitalized in Greece is 5 times that of any other European country. CLEO, partnered with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, is addressing this by educating and training Greek physicians, nurses, and health care technicians on the proper disinfecting procedures and protocols.
Please join Dr. Theo Zaoutis, Pediatric Infectious Disease Specialist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, as he educates us on how this issue has evolved alongside Greece’s economic crisis, the current challenges faced by the hospitals and patients in Greece, and how we can assist our brethren.
Sponsored by: Hellenic Medical Society of Philadelphia, (AHEPA – Hercules-Spartan Chapter26, Daughters of Penelope Tritonia#129, National Hellenic Student Association (National/Philadelphia),
