President\u2019s Message of Hippocratic Thermal Medicine Academy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear colleagues and participants,

I honorarily invite you to the 7th<\/sup> Panhellenic Congress of Thermal Medicine which will be held 07 – 09 April 2023 at the Hotel Marriot, 299 Syggrou St., Athens.
In this Congress will participate outstanding Professors, as well as internationally well-established colleagues who will present the evidence based Thermal Medicine up to date information while at the same time lectures, workshops and round table discussions will take place.
The Hippocratic Academy of Thermal Medicine founded in 2015, aiming to establish and update Thermal Medicine as a complementary therapeutic method, with scientific documentation of its medical applications.
Promising signs for Greece are the legal and institutional framework, as well as the decision of Plenary Session of Central Health Council in 2018, confirmed with Ministers Decision in 2022, establishing Complementary Medicine integrating the Thermal Medicine.
Thermal Medicine, with the scientific documentation supports the thermal, mechanical, chemical and particularly biological and immunological effects of the healing natural resources and has emerged as a complementary therapeutic method to the Classical Medicine.
The therapeutic methods of Thermal Medicine are: external hydrotherapy (balneotherapy), drinking therapy, inhalation therapy, clay therapy, salt therapy, thalassotherapy, cave therapy and biometeorological therapy.
Thermal Medicine updated from the empirical state to the scientific one with evidence studies in Greece beginning 2006, has therapeutic actions in different diseases of myoskeletical, neurological, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastroenterological and endocrine system as well as in dermatological, gynecological, allergic and otorhinolaryngologic ailments.
Therapeutic applications of Thermal Medicine in the various specialties are applied based on research, medical studies, doctoral theses and scientific papers.
Medicine helps eventually not only the treatment, recovery and rehabilitation of physical, mental and spiritual health, but also helps the treatment of silver & golden age, by applying longevity and wellness standards, as a preventive method. \u00a0
This effort reflects the current situation in Greece that aspirates for our country to become a global health resort medispa not only for the elderly and patients with chronic diseases but also as Preventive Medicine, under the medical supervision, always by experienced and internationally acclaimed physicians.
Our basic aim is to stop the \u00abbrain-drain\u00bb and develop the \u00abbrain-regain\u00bb, as the interest is growing internationally since the patients are looking for upgraded medical treatment, recovery, rehabilitation, antiaging and wellness services.
Substantial role plays the establishment of a Master Degree Program specialized in Thermal Medicine in the Medical School of Athens, as well as a similar e-learning program.
This effort has the ultimate goal of integrating Thermal Medicine as an elective course in undergraduate medical students education and additionally as thermal medical education in postgraduate programs related to different specializations. Determinant is the contribution of Attica Regional Governor President AMA, G.\u0397.D.l, IHTC, ELITOUR and Founding Member of the Hippocratic Academy of Thermal Medicine G. Patoulis, in promoting and establishing internationally the Health Tourism and Thermal Medicine.
He with his inspirational energy created the Global Hippocrates Institute of Doctor\u2019s and the International Health Center, formulating national policy for the revival of Hippocrates spirit establishing Greece to be prominent not only as therapeutic but at the same time as educational center of Hippocrates\u2019s Medicine and Classical Medicine with holistic approach, beginning from the Prefecture of Attica as the first health resort and medical spa for body, soul and spirit recreation.
