Government expanding free or subsidized healthcare

The coalition is in the process of expanding free or subsidized health coverage for uninsured Greeks and migrants living in Greece legally. It is estimated that around 2 million Greeks are uninsured. According to the plan, there will be no income criteria for those who want to apply for the health booklets, which will be issued by Citizens’ Information Centers (KEPs). People from other European Union countries living in Greece will also be able to obtain the booklets, as will all children under the age of 18 and pregnant woman, regardless of whether they have residence permits, as long as they do not have private insurance. read more
