Greek Health Minister Furious Over False Plasmapheresis Clinic Claims

Greek Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis has categorically denied reports linking him to a private clinic offering plasmapheresis services, calling the story “absolutely false” and announcing that the company will be taking legal action against those who spread the claims. In a post on X, Georgiadis insisted that the clinic in question “neither provides, nor has ever provided plasmapheresis services,” describing the report as “false and defamatory” — one that, he noted, was subsequently picked up and republished by other accounts and media outlets.

“The report published on Kyriakos Velopoulos’ website, which was then shared by the habitual slanderer Pavlos Polakis, is false and defamatory,” he stated pointedly, adding that the company intends to pursue legal action against all those who circulated the allegations.

Georgiadis also made a point of highlighting the investment itself, describing it as “enormous by Greek standards” and noting that it originates from the United Arab Emirates. The minister argued that foreign investors should not be dragged into domestic political disputes, and linked the matter to Greece’s broader efforts to attract investment in the longevity sector — encompassing services and technologies related to healthy aging and life expectancy extension.

“Greece has a huge interest in attracting serious investments in longevity — otherwise Turkey will draw them all away,” he stated emphatically.
