Athens: Greece’s former health minister, cardiologist and university professor Dimitris Kremastinos, died of coronavirus, Greek officials said. He was 78. A widely respected doctor who became a household name in Greece as the personal physician of late Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou in the mid-1990s, was admitted to Athens’ Evangelismos hospital on March 26. He died on Friday morning after being in the intensive care unit for COVID-19.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
