Greek healthcare modernization and digitalization

Overview

Greek Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis has introduced several initiatives aimed at modernizing the national healthcare system through infrastructure upgrades and digitalization.

Initially, Georgiadis announced a multi-million-euro program for the General Hospital of Rhodes, which includes the establishment of a new radiotherapy center, staff recruitment, and energy-efficiency improvements to reduce the need for patients to travel to Athens. During this period, he also defended his use of Meta smart glasses in hospitals for documenting visits, despite privacy concerns.

Following these announcements, the focus shifted toward the myHealth digital platform. Georgiadis defended upcoming changes that will make the electronic entry of diagnostic test results mandatory starting September 1, 2026. This measure is intended to centralize medical histories within the National Electronic Health Record. The Minister addressed criticism regarding these digital updates, characterizing the backlash as being driven by “hatred, bile, toxicity, and ignorance.”
