Lots of reactions and sensation in public opinion has been caused by the dismantling of two circuits that made virtual prescriptions at the expense of EOPYY, causing a loss of 3.5 million damage to the Organization.

16 people were arrested – doctors, owners and employees of pharmacies – who are facing eight felonies and two misdemeanors, while his assets have been frozen, as the Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, told SKAI.

“Despite the electronic prescription, it is technically possible, with an AMKA of a person who cannot see it and report you, to make virtual prescriptions” said the minister.

As he said, a new security system is being planned, which concerns an OTP (confirmation) message, which will come to the mobile phone of the person to whom the AMKA, for consent to the prescription, as is already done in banking transactions.

“We will check all of them” added Ad. Georgiadis.

As the Minister of Health mentioned, research is already underway in other regions, where doctors proceed with electronic prescriptions that far exceed the average prescriptions of other doctors of the same specialty.
