State of long-term care in Greece

Overview

This report provides an overview of long-term care policies, services and interventions in Greece, drawing on a system-level technical assessment carried out between March 2024 and June 2024. Evidence-gathering and stakeholder-engagement activities followed the approach outlined in the report State of long-term care: a step-by-step implementation guide and were carried out by a team of international and national LTC experts. The assessment revealed four areas of policy action that are vital for accelerating LTC system development:

1. adopting a unified legal framework with a view to harmonizing processes and pathways across sectors;
2. increasing fiscal space and sustaining public expenditure;
3. investing in protecting, supporting and empowering the health and care workforce, including formal and informal carers; and
4. expanding and strengthening data infrastructure that is harmonized and interoperable across systems.
