Abstract

The healthcare system in Greece has undergone significant changes over the past 10 years. While there have been some positive developments, such as improvements in primary care and public health, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed. One of the major changes in the Greek healthcare system over the past decade has been the impact of the country's economic crisis. The government has had to implement a series of austerity measures, including significant cuts to healthcare funding. This has had a negative impact on the availability and quality of care, particularly for those on low incomes or living in rural areas.
