With a post on social media, the prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis sent a stern message to those who engage in drug overprescriptions at the expense of patients.

“I want to be clear: such practices, which of course do not represent the entire medical world, are not tolerated. From no one and for no one. It is our duty to protect our fellow citizens. We have the will and now we have the mechanisms to do it. And that’s exactly what we’re doing,” the prime minister said, adding:

“In this context, by utilizing electronic prescribing, 100 doctors were identified who, within the first 8 months of 2024, were overprescribing to patients. In fact, one of them was fined 800,000 euros, as he prescribed, within just one month, thousands of medicines and in fact to his mother’s AMKA”.

At the same time, Mr. Mitsotakis pointed out that the commitment to legality everywhere is not limited to a specific field of politics, but extends to every aspect of public life. “Especially when it comes to a sector of utmost importance, like that of Health.”
