The death of popular Greek singer Giorgos Mazonakis at a private clinic has sparked renewed scrutiny of medical oversight in Greece.
According to reports, the clinic was operated by Ioanna Gaka, who is alleged to be an unqualified medical practitioner. Gaka has been accused of falsely claiming credentials from Honolulu, a claim that has not been verified by any recognized medical authority.
The incident has intensified calls for stricter regulation of medical professionals in private healthcare facilities across the country.
Greek health authorities have announced an investigation into the qualifications of doctors working in private clinics, following the Mazonakis case.
