Challenges at OAY Ahead of Christina Giannaki's Departure
February 28, 2025
The Health Insurance Organization has not adequately prepared for the necessary advancement of the patient referral program abroad, as the retirement of the Ministry of Health's director, Christina Giannaki, approaches. There is a proposal for Giannaki to provide consulting services to the OAY for six months, but the situation remains unclear. The OAY had previously committed to integrating these services into the General Health System, but the processes have been delayed. This issue has sparked strong reactions and a solution to fill the gap is being sought.
