The Library of Health Sciences, the only one of its kind in Athens, opened in October 1996. Professor Phedon Fessas was the first President of the Library Board.

As Hippocrates said

“The ability to study correctly what has been written is an important part of the art of Medicine”

Having this in mind, since the establishment of our Library we try to facilitate the study of health sciences and we aim to contribute to the progress of health practice in Greece. Being the Library of the School of Health Sciences of NKUA, we always try to support its educational and research activities. To that end, our collection is constantly being enriched with printed and electronic books, journals and databases. 

A good Library is a living institution, with a staff of dedicated research professionals, growing step by step with the community it serves.  And in the land of Hippocrates, we believe a Library can and should be more than just a collection of books – it should embody the search for knowledge, in all its forms.
