The East Achaia General Hospital - Aigio Hospital Unit (Greek: Γενικό Νοσοκομείο Ανατολικής Αχαΐας - Οργανική Μονάδα Αιγίου), commonly known as Aigio Hospital[1][2] is a public general hospital situated a few kilometres out of the town of Aigio in the Peloponnese peninsula of southern Greece. It has a capacity of 100 beds. The total personnel of the hospital numbered 217 in 2013.[3] Approximately 4,000 patients are hospitalized annually, and around 1,000 major and moderate surgeries, along with another 1,000 minor procedures, are performed each year. [4] The East Achaia General Hospital in Aigio offers a wide range of specialized medical services, including departments for Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Pediatrics, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Orthopedics, Urology, Ophthalmology, and various laboratory services such as Radiology, Biochemistry, and Pathology. In 2007 the operating rooms of the surgery department were destroyed by fire and were totally rebuilt in 2008.[5] A new 500 sq.m. Emergency Department (ED) area is currently under construction. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.[6] The hospital launched its new bilingual website in 2026, offering an improved online experience in both English and Greek for patients and visitors.
