Therapis General Hospital: Private Care in Athens
Finding a private hospital you can trust in an unfamiliar city is one of the hardest parts of planning care away from home. Therapis General Hospital, a diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical hospital in central Athens, has renewed its partnership with Asklepieia Health, continuing on the Asklepieia marketplace as an Evaluated Member under the Asklepieia Excellence Framework. This guide sets out what the hospital is, which departments and technology it operates, how insurance and cross-border access work, and how to use the platform to ask questions before you commit — the same verification approach Asklepieia applies to every partner on the platform.
A Private Hospital in Central Athens, Rebuilt for Modern Care
The hospital stands in the Pagrati district of Athens, at 83 Astydamantos Street, within easy reach of the city centre. According to the hospital’s own account of its history, its six-storey building was fully renovated between 2018 and 2020 and now operates 82 inpatient beds in single and double rooms. The scale is deliberate: Therapis positions itself as a smaller, hotel-style alternative to large hospital campuses, pairing clinical departments with accommodation designed to feel closer to hospitality than institution. An emergency department operates around the clock. For patients comparing care centres listed on the Asklepieia marketplace, that combination of central location and boutique scale is the hospital’s clearest point of difference.
Departments, Technology and the Patient Pathway
Therapis General Hospital operates a broad range of surgical and medical specialties. Departments named on its Asklepieia profile include cardiology, gastroenterology, gynaecological surgery, neurosurgery, oncology, orthopaedics, plastic and reconstructive surgery, thoracic surgery and urology, among others. On the technology side, the hospital describes five fifth-generation operating theatres supported by digital infrastructure, so surgeons can consult a patient’s imaging and test results during surgery through the hospital’s PACS system. Supporting units described on the profile include:
- an Intensive Care Unit for post-surgical and critical care
- an interventional cardiology department with a catheterisation laboratory
- an extracorporeal lithotripsy unit
- in-house diagnostic laboratories covering haematology, radiology and endoscopy
Because diagnosis usually precedes treatment, this in-house diagnostic capacity matters practically: it shortens the path from first consultation to a treatment decision. Patients who want to prepare before travelling can also compare diagnostic services listed on the Asklepieia marketplace and arrive with recent results in hand.
Insurance, Access and International Patients
The hospital states that it is partnered with EOPYY, the Greek national health service purchaser, and major private insurance providers. For patients travelling from other EU member states, Directive 2011/24/EU on patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare provides the legal framework under which planned treatment in another EU country may be accessed and reimbursed; the applicable rules vary by country, so patients should confirm their position with their national contact point before travelling. The hospital’s profile also notes English-speaking medical, nursing and administrative staff, which removes one of the most common practical barriers for international patients in Greece.
What Renewal Means: The Asklepieia Role
Asklepieia Health is a health and wellness marketplace — a facilitator that evaluates partner providers, presents their services in a structured and comparable way, and coordinates the path from enquiry to appointment. It is not a medical provider, and care at Therapis is delivered by the hospital’s own physicians and staff. The hospital’s renewed Evaluated Member status under the Asklepieia Excellence Framework signifies a continuing commitment to professional standards and quality of service — a relationship that has now been tested over time rather than announced for the first time. In practice, a patient can review the hospital’s departments on one profile, send a treatment enquiry through the platform, and receive a clear answer before making any commitment.
If you are considering diagnosis or treatment in Athens, you can review the departments, facilities and enquiry options on the Therapis General Hospital listing on the Asklepieia Health marketplace, or send an Ask for Treatment enquiry through the platform to receive information suited to your situation.
