Concerns at the OAY Regarding Christina Giannaki's Hiring
March 5, 2025
The Health Insurance Organization (OAY) is in a difficult position regarding the potential hiring of Christina Giannaki, the director general of the Ministry of Health, to manage the patient referral program abroad. The decision has been postponed due to strong backlash and public outcry. The board met urgently to discuss alternative solutions, including a proposal from the Patients' Associations Federation to transfer the Subsidized Patients Department. The final decision is set to be made tomorrow morning before the Parliamentary Health Committee meeting.
