New Indicator for Doctors' Appointment Availability in GESY

November 10, 2026

The Health Insurance Organization (OAY) will indicate appointment availability next to doctors' names in the GESY system, helping citizens quickly find available specialists. Waiting lists are being closely monitored, with particular issues in specialties such as allergy and child psychiatry. This intervention aims to reduce the number of phone inquiries for appointments. Nearly 60% of citizens have managed to secure an appointment within a month, while some percentages are waiting longer periods. Despite improvements, delays continue to be an issue for GESY beneficiaries.
