The Ygeia Hospital was founded in 1970 by a group of Greek doctors, with the aim of creating a model for the country of a private hospital.[1]

It is the first large private nursing institution that operated in Greece and is one of the largest private hospital units in the country. In this hospital, Greece performed their first heart transplant and their first treated case of AIDS. They were the first in Europe radioactive granules were implanted in prostate cancer. In May 1989 the hospital successfully separated conjoined twins. In 2013, it was awarded as the best employer in Europe at the European Business Awards 2012/2013.[2]
