Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis didn’t know, he didn’t ask! After strong protests from pharmaceutical associations and citizens who had to put their hands deeper into their pockets to pay their participation in drugs and after his first statement, he comes to take back the increase or at least one day of it by loading the regulation on the predecessor of, Michalis Chrysochoidis.
As he told the ERT camera during the day, there is an upcoming regulation so that for any generic drug beyond the participation of the insured, there will be no additional charge that exceeds 3 euros.

However, only yesterday, 15/2/24, he had denied that there is an increase in the burden on the insured. “The participation of the insured has not increased” he had said, adding that the EOPPY in each active substance reimburses the cheapest generic while he called on the insured to choose the cheapest drug in collaboration with their pharmacist.

In practice, of course, he accepts the increase up to 3 euros.
As stated by Mr. Georgiadis, “the implementation of the policy in practice never creates problems that we have not calculated. I was called upon to implement a decision of the previous political leadership regarding the equalization of the insurance and retail price of generic drugs. My will has never been to overburden the citizens, for this reason immediately within the day there will be a ministerial decision that will “lock” the difference at 3 euros as a maximum price. This cures all those cases that you read about and many told us and rightly so about their complaints and also leads to a rationalization of pharmaceutical expenditure as we will continue to reimburse the cheapest generic but also avoid high charges”.
