Healthcare transformed under Adonis Georgiadis

Eurostat has long documented the challenges of the Greek healthcare system: 33.5% of total health expenditures come directly from citizens’ pockets – one of the highest rates in the EU – while 32.3% of citizens at risk of poverty avoided seeing a doctor due to cost.

The response from Adonis Georgiadis and the “Greece 2.0” initiative is clear: action and measurable results, not words. With a total budget of approximately €1.5 billion, the program supports 50 projects that are changing citizens’ everyday experience of healthcare.

As the Minister of Health states:“We don’t make promises. We deliver. Healthcare is changing today, not tomorrow.”

Funding Allocation for Greece 2.0 Health Projects

• Prevention & Preventive Screenings: ~24.3%

• Primary Healthcare (PHC): ~18.1%

Adonis’ Commitment: Results, Not Words

With strategic planning and measurable projects, the government is reducing the financial burden on households, strengthening public healthcare, and ensuring equitable access for all, directly addressing Eurostat’s findings with action, not promises.

With “Greece 2.0”, Greece is investing in every citizen, every hospital, every health center – building a system that truly works for everyone.
