The Future of Healthcare in Greece
This year’s conference focused on the health policies to build strong, resilient, and inclusive healthcare systems maintaining at the same time a strong focus on economy and continuing to fight for solidarity, equity and transformation in health, within Greece and Europe and on the global stage – for health to rise like a phoenix from this crisis.
