According to POEDIN president Michalis Giannakos, the child was initially transferred to Karpathos Hospital, where he was intubated. A decision was then made to airlift him to Athens aboard a military aircraft so that he could receive specialized medical care. The 12-year-old was subsequently admitted to “Agia Sofia” Children’s Hospital to continue his treatment.
In a later update, Mr. Giannakos confirmed that the boy has since been extubated and remains hospitalized in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The exact circumstances surrounding the electric scooter fall have not yet been made public.
