Greece faces the highest rate of unmet medical needs in Europe, with over 11.6% of its population unable to afford healthcare, according to the "Health at a Glance 2024" report by the EU and OECD. Private healthcare spending in Greece exceeds 30% of total health expenditure—double the EU average—while public funding remains among the lowest in Europe. Low-income groups are disproportionately affected, as nearly 23% report being unable to access medical services due to cost, highlighting urgent healthcare inequalities in the country.
