No Medical Services on Credit

ƅƐƉƓƊƅƘƇ ƊƏƕƂƅƋƇ ƓƔƏƍ ƅƏƐƕƕ (EUROKINISSI // ƐƁƍƁƃƏƐƏƕƋƏƕ ƃƅƙƑƃƉƁ)Private doctors cooperating with Greeceā€™s National Organization for Health Care Provision (EOPYY), decided to stop offering their services on credit as of Dec. 17, as they are claiming overdue payments. Patients are now being charged for doctors’ services.
The rapid increase of unemployment now reaching a good 26%, and the reduction of insurance funds of EOPYY to 25%, are inevitably leading the countryā€™s largest health fund of more than 10 million insured patients to an impasse.
With EOPYY collapsing over limited funding, Greek patients who visit doctors and have medical examinations less frequently in order to save money, now have to seek private doctors who have work contracts with EOPYY.
According to the Dean and Professor of the National School of Public Health, John Kyriopoulos, given the fact that there is no money, patients are now being forced on a regular basis to postpone or even cancel necessary health services.
