Dentist Treating Greeks Too Poor To Pay
Greek dentist helping those too poor to pay for healthcare.
Dr Nikitas Kanakis is the director of the Greek branch of Medecins du Monde or Doctors of the World - it's an international charity that is more used to providing disaster relief in Africa and Asia, but is now treating 80,000 patients in Greece who find themselves unable to buy medicine or access basic health care. Dr Kanakis has been volunteering his services since the 1990s. He talks to Jo Fidgen about the devastating effect of the financial crisis on Greece's health care system. (Photo: Getty Images)
