The Greek government plans to open 239 local healthcare clinics throughout the country by the end of 2017 and support the health sector with new hirings, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Friday, after a visit to the ministry of Health.
“Our immediate aim is to set up 239 local health clinics in 80 different regions of the country by the end of 2017,” he noted, adding the selection of the regions was based on the area’s healthcare needs, access to healthcare services and the economic and social position of the local population.
To staff these services, the Health Ministry will announce in the immediate future more than 3,000 jobs for doctors and other healthcare personnel.
