Greek shipowners in bid to return dignity to hospital patients

The Union of Greek Shipowners (UGS) has volunteered to help refurbish ramshackle facilities in Greece's public hospitals and buy thousands of bed sheets and blankets for patients.

"This will not only change daily life in hospitals but also render a sense of dignity to patients again," Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said after a meeting with the UGS' leadership at his office on Tuesday.
