The Child Care Unit for Abused Children comes into service at Alexandroupolis University Hospital.

Alexandroupoli Hospital became the first hospital financed by ELİZA, the Association for the Protection of Abused Children.

The Child Abuse Care Unit will operate to diagnose and treat all cases of violence and abuse against children. The unit will serve the whole of East Macedonia - Thrace Province.

Elpidophoros Mandadakis, Head of Alexandroupolis Hospital Pediatrics Clinic, stressed that the issue of violence and abuse against children is underestimated and that many cases of abuse have not come to light. Mandadakis noted that experts such as pediatricians, forensic medicine specialists, social workers and child psychologists will provide services to families and children in the unit that has been put into service.

Mandadakis stated that they witnessed many situations related to sexual, physical and verbal abuse against children during his duty at Alexandroupoli Hospital, adding that the new unit will be opened in August.
