Greek medical associations seek regulatory reforms

Overview

Medical associations in Greece are calling for increased regulation and clearer legal frameworks to ensure patient safety and professional standards.

The Professional Association of Pathologists of Greece (EEPE) initially called for a strict institutional framework to regulate unscientific medical practices. The association raised concerns regarding the commercial promotion of unverified products and “alternative therapies” that lack international scientific documentation, specifically citing unregulated internet advertising for methods such as “biosynchronization” and “quantum” applications.

Following these concerns, the Medical Association of Athens (ISA) requested clarity regarding medical procedures and equipment within primary healthcare. The ISA highlighted legal ambiguities concerning the scope of medical acts performed by general practitioners versus specialists. The association noted that a recent tragic death of a well-known singer underscores the need for urgent initiatives to ensure patient safety and addressed the failure of previous attempts to resolve these regulatory issues.
