About Metropolitan Hospital Athens

Metropolitan Hospital is one of the largest and most technologically advanced private hospitals in Greece. Located in the Neo Faliro area of Piraeus, Athens, the hospital opened in 2001 and operates 500 beds across a modern campus. It is part of the Hellenic Healthcare Group (HHG) and has rapidly established itself as a center of medical excellence in Southeast Europe.

The hospital is particularly well known for its IVF and reproductive medicine center, which is one of the largest and most successful fertility programs in Greece with high success rates in assisted reproduction techniques including in vitro fertilization, egg donation, and preimplantation genetic testing. The orthopedics department is a national referral center for joint replacement surgery, sports medicine, and complex spine procedures.

Metropolitan Hospital has also developed strong programs in bariatric and metabolic surgery, performing sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and revisional bariatric procedures for patients with obesity. The ophthalmology department offers advanced refractive surgery (LASIK, SMILE), cataract surgery with premium intraocular lenses, vitreoretinal surgery, and corneal transplantation.

With state-of-the-art infrastructure, advanced diagnostic imaging (3T MRI, 128-slice CT, PET-CT), and a comprehensive emergency department, Metropolitan Hospital provides the full spectrum of medical and surgical care. The hospital attracts international patients from across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa who seek high-quality care combined with the appeal of recovering in Athens.
