The Onassis Foundation has unveiled a plan to build Greece’s first dedicated organ transplant hospital.

Foundation president Anthony Papadimitriou said the €130m ($148m) facility, to be attached to the existing Onassis heart surgery centre in Athens, will fill a gap in Greece's medical system.

Papadimitriou unveiled details of the project at a presentation in Athens on 31 October, attended by dozens of senior politicians, businessmen and celebrities.
