Greek healthcare technology and digital infrastructure

Overview

Greek Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis has been focused on the state and advancement of digital and medical technologies. Following a dispute with Elias Mossialos, director of LSE Health, regarding the alleged stagnation of Greece’s digital healthcare infrastructure, Georgiadis defended the functionality of the nation’s digital systems. He dismissed claims of stalled development as ‘leftist propaganda’ and pointed to the ‘my health app’ as evidence of continued progress in electronic health records and online medical services.

Subsequently, Georgiadis and Deputy Health Minister Marios Themistokleous traveled to the United Arab Emirates to engage with international medical technology. During an official visit involving meetings with UAE and Dubai health officials, the ministers toured biotech facilities and genetic testing sites. Georgiadis commented on the advanced nature of the technology observed, stating, ‘Here medical science of the 22nd century is being created.’
