“The Parliament may present a slightly different picture today, after the latest changes in the main opposition party, but the draft law we are discussing is part of a steady path that upgrades public health by serving three central goals: extensive prevention, organisation of primary care, renovation of 93 hospitals and 156 health centres,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Tuesday in Parliament, ANA reports.
The prime minister was addressing the plenary during the debate on the draft law “Reforming the institution of the Personal Doctor – Establishment of University Health Centres and other provisions of Ministry of Health.”
He stressed that this was an ambitious plan: “I believe that it has no precedent in the history of the national health system, therefore it requires time and great perseverance in its execution. Undoubtedly, however, it is a project that is implemented day by day.”
“It is the first time in our country we acquire an organised programme of prevention and public health,” he noted, referring to “a reform that has already produced tangible results.”
