The Care-at-Home Service of
Medical Diagnostic Laboratories (IDEA) takes biological samples (e.g. blood)
in emergency cases from children and adults, even on weekends and
holidays throughout Athens. The results of emergency
tests are communicated to the patient and the treating physician by phone or
email. Taking of
blood and other biological materials at home and the urgent implementation of
the tests are provided as always at reasonable cost (The IDEA does not
have contracts with the EOPYY, insurance companies or funds). We also
call our partner clinician (physician, paediatrician, etc.) to examine at home, if requested by the patient. Finally, we
have permanent cooperation with a special unit for imaging tests at home
(x-rays and ultrasound).
