The HENRY DUNANT hospital (HENRY DUNANT), the HYGEIA Group (Hygeia) and the Alfa Institute of Biomedical Sciences (AIBS) stand out in this category –in terms of their publication output–. However, their number of publications leveled off in 2010, amounting to 67, 44 and 41 respectively (Figure 9.1.1). There were fewer publications from the IASO Group (23), the METROPOLITAN Hospital (20), St. Luke's Hospital (16), the EUROCLINIC Group and the Ηellenic Cooperative Oncology Group (15 each) and the Athens Medical Group (12).

Figure 9.1.2 presents the number of publications and its rate of change for each Private Health Institution from 1996 to 2010.

Rate of change: 1+(number of publications in year "n" - number of publications in year "n-1" ) / number of publications in year "n-1". The rate is 1, if the number of publications is the same across the years compared.

The rate of change in the publications of St. Luke’s Hospital (St. Luke) and the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group (HeCOG) exceeded that of the “Private Health Institutions” category. It should be noted, though, that the actual number of publications for these hospitals was rather low. An increase in the number of publications is also noted for IASO Hospital, METROPOLITAN Hospital and EUROCLINIC Hospital.
