Healthcare System Overview

Greece operates a public healthcare system through EOPYY (National Organization for the Provision of Health Services), established in 2011 to unify previously fragmented social insurance funds. The public system provides universal coverage but suffers from underfunding and long waiting times. Private health insurance is growing rapidly (health premiums up ~14% in 2025), with about 15-20% of Greeks holding private coverage.
