Metropolitan Hospital holds the Gold Badge (INTERACT-EUROPE 100) for excellence in oncology training. This distinction recognizes the successful certification of eight oncology professionals. The hospital also operates several specialized critical care units:
These units allow rapid response in time-critical emergencies, such as neurological or cardiac events.
The hospital is a hub for robotic-assisted surgery in Greece. It was the first in the country to use the Da Vinci Single Port (SP) system. Surgeons have performed over 300 robotic single-site procedures with this technology.
In orthopedics, the team uses the Mako Rio robotic arm. This system provides high accuracy for hip and knee replacement. Specialists also use the SkyWalker robotic platform for orthopedic procedures.
Neurosurgical and spinal procedures rely on the O-arm II imaging system. This portable device provides real-time 3D visualization during surgery, so surgeons can confirm exact placement of tools and implants.
The Neurology Clinic treats a full spectrum of conditions. The department manages cerebrovascular accidents, Alzheimer's disease, and epilepsy. A dedicated Multiple Sclerosis & Other Neurological Disorders Clinic has operated since 2022.
Specialists offer advanced treatments for Parkinson's disease. These include Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to control tremors. They also place continuous infusion pumps, such as Apo-Go or Duodopa, to manage symptoms.
The Neurosurgery department includes several directors and registrars. Dr. Nikolaos Haliasos, an Associate Professor at Queen Mary University of London, serves as Director. The team performs complex brain surgeries, including removal of meningiomas and laminectomies.
For cancer treatment, the hospital uses the CyberKnife and Gamma Knife radiosurgery systems. These platforms feature 4D Cone Beam CT for real-time tracking. They deliver high-dose radiation to targets while sparing healthy tissue.
Pediatric care is available for children from infancy through adolescence. The Pediatric ENT-Audiology Clinic is led by Dr. Ioannis Economidis. The clinic performs surgeries ranging from adenoidectomy to cochlear implantation. A Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic handles diabetes and weight management.
The International Patients Department coordinates every step of the medical journey. Staff manage arrival logistics, hospital admissions, and insurance approvals. The department also communicates with cruise ship physicians for real-time status updates.
The hospital provides air ambulance services across several regions. These transfers can reach patients within 1–2 hours:
Diagnostic support includes the Somatom Drive dual-source CT for fast imaging. The hospital also uses the Artis Icono angiography system for vascular studies.
