Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis announced free afternoon surgeries for 37,000 citizens awaiting operations for over four months. Funded by €51 million from the EU Recovery Fund, the program aims to help those unable to afford surgery. Georgiadis dismissed criticism of the health system as politically driven.
Georgiadis acknowledged that while some issues exist within the system, which serves 80,000 people daily and 25 million annually, much of the criticism is unfounded.
The minister emphasised that any critiques should be based on real data, not propaganda. He reassured the public that both Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the Ministry of Health are committed to improving public healthcare.
Georgiadis also announced a new program offering free afternoon surgeries for citizens unable to afford the cost, aimed at helping the 37,000 people currently on waiting lists for more than four months. The program, pending final EU approval of Recovery Fund resources, will require €51 million, which has already been earmarked. The decision is expected by the end of the year.
