The World Family Doctor Award for 2021 (Global Family Doctor) was awarded to Anargyros D. Mariolis, director of the Areopolis Health Center and a doctor of the Medical School of the University of Athens, the World Organization of Family Doctors, WONCA.
This is an honorary distinction, of international radiation, which is awarded every two years to doctors from all over the world. The award criteria apply to a family doctor who is also a provider of holistic, human-centered, quality care, informed decision-making, interdisciplinary communication, and a community leader with administrative virtues. This year's award recognizes the contribution of a man, not only in urban areas, but primarily in a remote corner of Greece, such as Mani.
Anargyros D. Mariolis stated to APE-MPE: “Ideas and work coexist in this distinction. Looking daily through the window of the patients, who are now illuminated by the price of the Award, the need for new human values arises. Duty, responsibility and offering to man were institutionalized by the patients themselves. Struggle and hope are the stars that have helped me stay on the side of all patients who manage to survive in a threatened world, especially in the days of the coronavirus pandemic. Together all these years we have created hiding places of resistance and will for light, justice and dignity. We must all work hard and decisively to paint a brighter sun all over the world, which will spread its warmth everywhere, for the Primary Health Care and the family doctor. Crossing the present with faith, I want to repeat to everyone the thank you that I have received so many times. I will continue to be a defender of love, looking at man with affection. “This is the dream and the reality of my secret alliance.”
It is worth mentioning that Anargyros D. Mariolis was named the best Family Doctor in Europe for 2019, while since September 2020 he is a member of the Committee of Experts of the Greek Ministry of Health.
