@AdonisGeorgiadi Το θεμα είναι τι κάνει το ΥΥΚΑ για να μη φτάσουμε εδώ. Ισως μια μακροπροθεσμη πολιτική για το ανθρ. δυναμικό στην υγεία? Ρωτήστε στον ΠΟΥ που έχετε πλέον τόσο αγαστες σχέσεις..εκεί χωλαίνει το σύστημα κι όχι στα ζήτημα ποιότητας που προτεραιοποιητε. & η απόδειξη είναι μπροστά σας

@Pierrakakis Η θέσπιση τέτοιων κινήτρων θα φέρει και την καινοτομία πιο κοντά στην περιφέρεια που τόσο την έχει ανάγκη και θα συμβάλει μακροπροθεσμα στη βελτίωση των οικονομικών συντελεστών της περιφέρειας.

@Pierrakakis Χρειαζεται ενίσχυση της χρηματοδότησης έρευνας των νέων ερευνητών στα περιφερειακά ΑΕΙ. Στην απονομή των χρηματοδότησεων θα πρέπει να προβλέφθει ειδικός συντελεστής για προτάσεις από τα περιφερειακά ΑΕΙ για να πάρει σάρκα και οστά η ενίσχυση τους με πόρους και ανθρώπινο κεφάλαιο.

The more clinicians I talk to, the more they confirm that the belief that exercise 'wears down the knee cartilage' exists.

Well, it seems it DOES NOT harm knee cartilage.

Still a long way to go to debunk this myth!
