Need for Better Management of Chronic Patients in Healthcare
November 7, 2025
Mary Avramidou, the president of the Scientific Society of Personal Physicians, expresses concern about the referral processes for chronic patients to specialists, which result in unnecessary hassle. She calls for the quicker establishment of registries for chronic illnesses so that patients do not need referrals for routine visits. This situation burdens both doctors and patients who require ongoing monitoring. She also mentions technical issues related to the visibility of patients in the healthcare software. Ms. Avramidou urges the Health Insurance Organization to promptly implement changes.
