Pamboridis Critiques Damianos' Statements on GeSY
March 18, 2025
Former Health Minister George Pamboridis criticized Health Minister Michalis Damianos for his statements regarding the possibility of introducing a multi-insurance system to the existing healthcare framework. He claimed that the government has failed to address issues within the current system, asserting that the General Health System (GeSY) is fundamentally a single-payer system. Pamboridis accused Damianos of misunderstanding or rejecting the philosophy behind GeSY and warned against considering a shift to a multi-insurance model. He urged the government to focus on health system problems and strengthen the existing framework instead of undermining it.
