“From now on, thousands of patients who have been waiting for months to years to be operated on, will be able to find a way out in the followingnoon surgeries at a much lower cost than a private clinic. I strongly believe in this measure and I believe that it will be “embraced” immediately by both hospital staff and patients. We continue steadfastly in the reforms for a National Health System worthy of the expectations of the Greek citizens”, said the Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadis on the occasion of the signing of the MOU.
The aim, on the one hand, is to reduce the waiting lists of patients waiting to be operated on, and on the other hand, to increase the incomes of doctors and nurses working in the National Health System (NHS).
Afternoon surgeries: Detailed prices per operation
The prices will depend on what type of operation the patient will have.
As can be seen in the picture, for a very minor operation the cost will be 300 euros, while for an extremely heavy operation it will be 2,000 euros.
For his part, the Deputy Minister of Health, Marios Themistokleous, added: “With transparency and control, ensuring the smooth operation of regular surgeries, we give an additional option to our fellow citizens by making the most of the possibilities of the NHS.
Our goal is to serve immediately and efficiently as many of our fellow citizens as possible by receiving high quality services. The financing of 60 million euros from the Recovery and Resilience Fund to carry out over 50,000 surgeries that have been waiting for months, as well as the Single Digital List of Surgeries are substantial steps in this direction”
