At the Disability Certification Center in Thessaloniki, on the occasion of the increase of doctors, their specialties and their fees, the Minister of Labor and Social Security, Domna Michaelidou, was present.

The minister discussed with the doctors of the committee about the changes that are coming, with the aim of making the lives of thousands of people with disabilities easier in practice, with the Joint Ministerial Decision (JMA) on increasing the number and specialties of the body of doctors of the Disability Certification Center (KEPA), signed by the Minister of Labor and Social Security, Domna Michailidou and the Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis.

As part of her visit, Mrs. Michailidou participated in the information event on the implementation of the Digital Work Card in industry, co-organized by the Business and Industry Association (SEB) and the Hellenic Industries Association (SBE).

Among other things, he mentioned how important the implementation of the Digital Work Card is and the necessity of its extension to all sectors. As he said, “these policies focus on the protection of workers, the elimination of undeclared work, compliance with the provisions of insurance legislation. Employees, employers and the State, we are on the same side.”

Accompanied by the commander of e-EFKA, Alexandros Varveris, the minister visited EFKA, the Regional Insurance Control Center (PEKA) of Central Macedonia, the Insurance Contribution Collection Center (KEAO). Finally, Mrs. Michailidou stated: “The first month at the Ministry of Labor and Social Security could only end with a visit to Thessaloniki. With the commander of e-EFKA, Alexandros Varveris, we visited all types of EFKA structures. We talked to the workers, listened to the citizens and were informed about the progress being made in clearing the outstanding pensions. Employees, the unemployed, employers, pensioners and people with disabilities are all at the heart of the policies we implement. Especially for our fellow citizens with disabilities, four years ago we started a big effort to change the lives of both them and their families. In this context, the increase that is being made for the first time in the number, in the specialties, but also in the remuneration of the doctors employed in KEPA is included. Our aim is to improve the quality of life of our fellow citizens, without leaving anyone behind».
