Achillopouleio General Hospital of Volos began his operation precisely before one century (1903) 

and functions up today without interruption. The newer history of  Volos city and the configuration

of  her running physiognomy, begin with the annexation of  Thessaly and Volos in Greek state in 1881.

As it is presented by the historical elements the institution was from the first activities of citizens of that

season in Volos city. The financing of  his manufacture was based exclusively on the citizen offers and 

charitable supports. The operation and his increase, from then up to today, can be separated in

three periods, taking consider the big earthquake that become in Volos in 1956. We have the first

period, before the earthquake (1903-1956), the second period (1956-1964), immediately after the

earthquake and finally the third period, when the hospital was installed in the new building, where functions up to

today. The history and the various phases is connected with the social level and with the development of

medicine.
