On this episode, Professor of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the School of Medicine of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) and President of the Hellenic Society for Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Athanasios Michos, explains what we need to know about pneumococcus, a bacterium that should not be underestimated. He outlines which groups are most at risk, the role of vaccination, and why prevention remains crucial.
In the second part of the program, Psychiatrist–Psychotherapist and Deputy Clinical Director at the 414 Military Hospital, Olga Kakampakou, discusses young people’s dependence on screens, at a time when banning social media use for children under the age of 15 is being debated. When scrolling becomes a habit—and habit turns into addiction—how does excessive screen use affect young people’s mental health, and how can parents and educators set healthy boundaries?
