Metropolitan Dionysios of Corinth is in critical condition at the intensive care unit of IASO Hospital in Athens, according to Greek Orthodox news outlet Ekklisia Online.
The bishop, who has been absent from his duties for several weeks, has been fighting a serious health battle since returning from the United States earlier this year. His condition has worsened in recent days, prompting his admission to the ICU.
Met. Dionysios had traveled to America for medical treatment last fall after discovering a health problem during a routine examination, despite having no symptoms at the time. Following advice from Greek doctors, he underwent surgery in the United States.
The hierarch was discharged from a U.S. hospital on October 15 after what was reported as a successful surgery. At the time, the Metropolis of Corinth announced that his post-operative recovery had progressed excellently, though he remained in America for follow-up examinations while staying with his niece.
Met. Dionysios is described as one of the most distinguished and educated hierarchs of the Church of Greece.
