The issue of health tends to become worldwide perhaps the greatest area of ​​growth of the world economy in the age of artificial intelligence, Health Minister A. Georgiadis stressed today, speaking today at the 5th Economist Metropolitan Congress in Thessaloniki, adding that Greece is not going to be a new one.

“Our government has passed the law of investment clawback in 2019, creating an environment to make the largest productive investment in the drug sector in Greece over the last fifty years. At the moment we are talking about 1.6 billion euros in the Greek pharmaceutical industry. From one end of the country to the other factories are made. Many pharmaceutical companies really invest by this law and we build production units for the next 25 years. This is a cosmogony, it has not been widely understood by Greek society, which does not deal with the big ones and only deals with the young, “he said in his speech.

He spoke of thousands of new well -paid jobs, a significant attraction for talents in science and innovation, which instead of leaving Greece, remain here and many others who return from abroad for this reason.

“Today, if we leave a little bit of our local, Europe is constantly losing competitiveness. Today, global developments are so high and at so high that if Europe cannot quickly adapt to the new era, it will be far behind and doubt if it will be long. Fortunately, the positions of the Greek government eventually became a majority in Europe, and the patent and innovation in Europe have been greatly protected, “the health minister added.

Speaking about digitization in the field of health, A. Georgiadis said: “We have driven the Greek health system today to be the most digitized system throughout the European Union. It sounds a little weird, but I want to tell you that the United Kingdom is primitive in front of us. Greece today has 100% electronic prescription, every Greek has the My Health App, where it can download the electronic health folder, which already operates and from January 1, 2026, will have everything, all the real -time diagnostic tests, from magnetic resonance imaging to blood tests or anything else on its cellphone. And data collection from all Greek patients 24 hours a day, where in combination with the large program “Spyros Doxiadis” and preventive examinations, the health data of the entire Greek population are collected in an application »

Concluding, he talked about artificial intelligence in health, saying “there are now great discoveries in new treatments and new high -speed drugs, which need data to deliver and develop. The new “black gold” of our time is data. MyhealTHApp, the electronic health folder we built is an ocean of wealth wealth. I am absolutely sure that Greece in the coming years with this spirit and this plan will attract huge investment in health. “

We need to look at this new era that is dawning not with the usual modern Greek misery, but as a great opportunity for Greece to have a great speed at a high step in front of it and added: “I know that too many have concerns about artificial intelligence, about the new era. Tested concerns. But this season will come whether we like it or not. The issue is in this new era if we will be one of the protagonists or whether we will be from the comedians. The ambition of our own government is to be one of the protagonists. “
