Greece's Ministry of Health is taking steps to improve access to high-cost medications by expanding distribution channels.

Currently, these medications are primarily available through specialized pharmacies managed by the National Organization for Healthcare Services Provision (EOPYY).

However, challenges with this system have prompted the Ministry to explore

new options to ensure patients have better access to essential drugs.

The Ministry plans to expand EOPYY's home delivery service, with the goal of reaching 200,000 patients nationwide each month.

A pilot program is already underway, and services are expected to expand throughout the year. Additionally, EOPYY is working to enable the distribution of high-cost medications through private pharmacies, increasing convenience for patients.

These initiatives aim to address the limitations of the current system and ensure that patients across Greece have reliable access to critical medications.
