Biography
Vouzas was born in about 1857 in Kastoria, then Ottoman Empire (now Greece). [1] He studied at a Greek school of Kastoria, at a Monastir high school and later graduated in medicine from the University of Athens. [1] He became a doctor, acting in the areas of Kastoria and Florina. [1] He soon became a member of the so-called "New Filiki Etaireia", established by Anastasios Pichion in 1867. [2] His actions were discovered by the Ottoman authorities, which lead to his imprisonment in Monastir. [1] When he was released, he assisted the Macedonian Committee as a military doctor. During the First Balkan War he was appointed as a director of a 150-bed military hospital. Shortly after, in 1914, he volunteered for the Autonomous Republic of Northern Epirus. [3]
