The event confirmed the pivotal role that telemedicine is set to play in the digital transformation of public health in our country, attracting the attention of the scientific community, healthcare organisations and technology providers alike.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop was attended by the Deputy Minister of Health, Irini Agapidaki, the Secretary-General for Public Health,\u00a0<strong>Christina-Maria Kravvari<\/strong>,\u00a0the CEO of Information Society Single-Member S.A.,\u00a0<strong>Stavros Asthenidis<\/strong>,\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Stathis Kechriotis<\/strong>, OTE\u2019s Sales Director for the Public Sector, the EU and International Organisations.<\/p>\n<p>During the Information Day, the profound social and operational significance of EDIT was highlighted. The EDIT is not simply a technological upgrade, but a comprehensive, people-centred tool that guarantees equal access for all citizens to high-quality healthcare services, regardless of where they live; from the most remote island near the borders to the heart of urban centres.<\/p>\n<p>Particular emphasis was placed on drastically reducing unnecessary patient transfers, relieving pressure on the National Health System and strengthening Primary Healthcare. At the same time, the network\u2019s role in supporting doctors and nurses through advanced teleconsultation and e-learning services was highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>During the workshop, the history, mission and vision of EDIT were presented, along with its technological innovations and the challenges faced during implementation. The conference highlighted experiences from clinical practice, European practices, issues relating to the regulatory and legislative framework, as well as the prospects for the development of telemedicine in Greece in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation on the expansion of the network across the country, through the development of new Doctor-Patient and Doctor-Consultant Telemedicine Stations, home monitoring systems, training centres and operational support infrastructure. These new facilities will significantly enhance the ability to provide timely and reliable healthcare services in remote and island areas.<\/p>\n<p>EDIT is a modern, people-centred multi-tool serving the National Health System, offering teleconsultation, telemonitoring, telepsychiatry and ongoing professional development for healthcare staff, with the aim of improving the quality of healthcare services provision and promoting equal access for all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>EDIT is a flagship project of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence. It is being implemented by Information Society, with funding from the European Union\u2019s Recovery and Resilience Fund and OTE as the contractor.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Minister for Health,\u00a0<strong>Irini Agapidaki<\/strong>, emphasised: &#8220;The National Telemedicine Network is a flagship project for the digital transformation of the public health sector, which is already changing the way in which healthcare services are provided in our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We currently have 305 doctor-patient clinics and 35 doctor-consultant clinics, which provide citizens with immediate and equal access to medical care, even in the most remote parts of the country. At the same time, the Hellenic National Public Health Organisation&#8217;s (EODY) Mobile Health Teams are being rolled out, along with around 3,000 home nursing systems, bringing healthcare services closer to the public than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>Of particular importance is the partnership we are developing with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation to establish a single operations centre at Attiko Hospital, which will bring together telemedicine, Mobile Health Teams and field operations, thereby significantly strengthening operational coordination and response times across the country.<\/p>\n<p>This new ecosystem, which integrates EDIT, substantially enhances equal access to healthcare services for all citizens, regardless of their geographical location, relieving the pressure on the National Health System and fundamentally transforming the model of healthcare provision.<\/p>\n<p>This is a major reform that is already yielding results and laying the groundwork for a more modern, more effective and more people-centred healthcare system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stavros Asthenidis<\/strong>, CEO of Information Society Single-Member S.A., said: &#8220;Here at Information Society, we are particularly proud of the implementation of the EDIT because it is not simply yet another piece of digital infrastructure, but a significant step towards a fairer, more accessible and more contemporary healthcare system for all. It was designed and implemented to high technical and operational standards. It incorporates state-of-the-art infrastructure, interoperability and data security, and is delivered fully operational and ready to serve members of the public and healthcare professionals throughout Greece.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The enthusiastic response from participants and the fruitful dialogue that ensued confirmed the project\u2019s potential and necessity. The National Telemedicine Network continues to progress, demonstrating that technology can and should be people-centred, as the cornerstone of an equitable, modern and digital healthcare system for every Greek citizen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10929\" title=\"Greece 2.0 NextGeneration en 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ktpae.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Greece-2.0_NextGeneration_en_1-300x54.jpg\" alt=\"Greece 2.0 NextGeneration en 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"54\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ktpae.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Greece-2.0_NextGeneration_en_1-300x54.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ktpae.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Greece-2.0_NextGeneration_en_1.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1st Information Day on the Greek National Telemedicine Network (EDIT) was held with great success on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026.
