Piraeus Medical Association criticizes new referral system due to personal doctor shortages

newsbomb.gr (Greek)

The Piraeus Medical Association opposes a new gatekeeping system for specialist referrals, citing insufficient personal doctor staffing. The association argues the system, passed without consultation, is flawed because over 3.5 million citizens lack a personal doctor due to a shortage of contracted physicians. They call for the regulation's withdrawal and dialogue, warning against implementing a failed British model that could restrict patient access and degrade healthcare services.
