The health ministry will proceed with the exemption of certain categories of patients and doctors from the monthly prescription cap, Deputy Health Minister Antonis Bezas said on Friday, during a meeting with Athens Medical Association (ISA) representatives who insisted that the prescription cap should be abolished altogether.

The deputy minister said that final stage
chronic kidney disease and heart patients, liver failure patients and transplant patients, as well as hospital doctors will be excluded from the measure.

ISA has already appealed to the Council of State (CoS) requesting the annulment of the ministerial decision imposing a cap on the number of prescriptions that can be written by doctors via the Greek National Organization of Healthcare Services (EOPYY), while the Greek Medical Association (PIS) has announced that on Monday a complaint will be filed with the Supreme Court Prosecutor requesting the abolition of the prescription and diagnostic test cap.
