Issues concerning the operation of the General Health System were the focus of a meeting convened by the President of the Hellenic Republic, Mr Nikos Christodoulides. The meeting was attended by the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Health and the leaderships of OAI and OKYPY.
In her statements after the meeting, Health Minister Dr. Popi Kanari said that OAI and OKYPY submitted roadmaps, which were prepared after separate meetings held by the Ministry of Health with the two organisations.
The main objectives of the roadmaps, the minister added, are to improve service delivery and solve problems related to waiting lists, TAPs and chronic patients, among others.
The meeting also studied, as Dr Kanari noted, the financial risks that arise in relation to the operation of public hospitals and the OKYPY, and discussed ways through which the financial autonomy of the organization will be made possible.
After studying the roadmaps, the minister said, the need to provide more detailed financial data became apparent. "President Christodoulides asked for clearer positions to be presented both on the content of the road maps and on the issue of their implementation in time," Dr Kanari added. She pointed out that in a month from today, a new meeting with the President of the Republic will take place.
During the meeting, the commitments of the Ministry of Health in relation to the promotion of bills were also put on the agenda. "We are promoting several bills, some of which will be submitted to the Parliament soon and will contribute to improving the level of provision in the provision of services within GHC," the Minister said.
Referring to the bill on the operation of rehabilitation centres, she said that it will be submitted to the Parliament within the week. She also stressed that the Ministry's immediate priorities include the promotion of the legislation on Diagnostic Centres. "The bill will be ready towards the end of July, it will be consulted and then forwarded to the Legal Service," he added. He expressed confidence that the bill would be ready by the end of the year.
