Nikos Androulakis expressed the complete opposition of PASOK-Movement for Change to the draft law concerning doctors of the National Health Service, which is being discussed in the plenary session of Parliament.

“The National Health System was one of the most iconic reforms signed by PASOK because it broke down social inequalities by offering its services to all citizens,” said the President of PASOK Movement for Change, emphasizing:

“After a decade of economic crisis and a pandemic, the government, instead of strengthening the National Health Service and primary health care, stimulating staffing and channeling generous resources from the Health Recovery Fund like other European countries, a bill that we strongly disagree with, because it completely destroys the national health care system.”

As Mr. Androulakis pointed out, the specific bill “abolishes the full and exclusive employment of hospital doctors and turns the public and public good into a private market object at a time when, in a stifling environment of rising prices and inflation, Greek citizens are paying third parties the highest private health care costs. on a pan-European scale, second only to Bulgaria and Lithuania.

The president of PASOK-Movement for Change strongly criticized the New Democracy government, saying that “it makes clear at every opportunity that its priority is to serve the interests, small and large, even to the detriment of the well-being of citizens.”
