"The law will be implemented in compliance with the timetables set", Health Minister Andreas Loverdos said on Thursday, speaking at a press conference one day after a watershed bill on health sector reforms passed a first test in Parliament.
"The majority of people believe that something good is being done for them," Loverdos underlined, adding that "the healthcare system will work under better conditions" and that the "distance between the insured and the physician is being reduced".
The minister said new fees for 10,000 medical practices will be introduced by June and that as of April, the ministry will undertake the pricing of medicines, while the hospital management reforms will proceed.
