General Clinic of Rhodes: A Guide for International Patients
The General Clinic of Rhodes, part of the Imithea Medical Group, is a private hospital on the island of Rhodes offering a broad range of clinical services to Greek residents and international visitors alike. For patients considering specialist consultations or planned treatment in Greece, understanding what the clinic provides — its departments, quality certifications, and patient coordination services — is a useful starting point. This guide covers the clinic’s clinical scope, accreditations, and how Asklepieia, a medical tourism marketplace, facilitates access to its services.

Founded in November 2006, the General Clinic of Rhodes operates from a 12,500-square-metre purpose-built facility at the 5th km of the Rhodes–Lindos Avenue in Koskinou — approximately 15 minutes from Rhodes town centre, the main port, and Rhodes International Airport. The clinic offers 124 inpatient beds distributed across double, triple, deluxe, and suite room categories. On-site amenities include free parking, a restaurant and cafeteria open from 07:00 to 23:00, Wi-Fi, and satellite television.

Services for International Patients Seeking Healthcare in Rhodes
The clinic maintains a dedicated International Patients’ Department to coordinate the practical aspects of a medical visit to Rhodes. Services available through this department include appointment scheduling, admission and discharge assistance, travel and accommodation arrangements, interpretation, insurance coverage management, and billing facilitation. Hotel physician visits and ambulance coordination are also available when clinically indicated.
The primary languages of service are Greek and English. French-language support is available in the Dialysis Unit, and interpretation for other languages can be arranged through the coordination team.
Quality Accreditations and Certifications
The clinic holds two independent quality certifications that are directly relevant to international patients evaluating their options:
- TEMOS International Healthcare Accreditation (awarded November 2022) — TEMOS International is a Germany-based, ISQua-awarded accreditation organisation that evaluates healthcare facilities against clinical, ethical, and service quality standards. Its accreditation is an independently verified quality benchmark widely recognised in the medical tourism sector.
- ISO 9001:2015 Certification — the ISO 9001:2015 standard specifies the requirements for a quality management system and is used internationally to demonstrate that an organisation can consistently provide services meeting applicable standards and customer expectations.
The clinic has also received Healthcare Business Awards in the Social Responsibility and Health Tourism categories (2016 and 2017), a Quality of Care Award, a Patient Safety and Satisfaction Award, and a Corporate Social Responsibility Award.
How Asklepieia Connects Patients to the General Clinic of Rhodes
Asklepieia Health is a medical tourism marketplace — a platform that lists and promotes verified healthcare providers across Greece and the broader Mediterranean region, enabling patients to browse, compare, and enquire about services. The General Clinic of Rhodes is an Asklepieia-listed care centre, which means its full profile — services, contact details, and the entry point for enquiries — is accessible through the marketplace.
Asklepieia does not provide medical treatment directly. It acts as a facilitator: helping patients identify the right provider for their clinical needs, then connecting them with the clinic’s own coordination team for all subsequent logistical and clinical arrangements. The relationship is disclosed transparently — the clinic is a partner listed on the Asklepieia marketplace, not an Asklepieia-owned facility.
