Greece is a country with 3000 years of tradition in medicine, where the spirit of ancient Greece, the wonderful landscape and the enchanting sea contribute to the highest standards of medicine.
Medical science has strong roots and a long tradition in Greece. The god of medicine, Asclepius, was worshiped in ancient times and Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, was born in 460 BC. on the island of Kos. This tradition continues in modern times with the great doctor and researcher Georgios Papanikolaou, who invented the method of diagnosing cervical cancer (Pap test) – a life-saving method for women.
The great medical science continues the tradition it has since ancient times. Today, important programs combine the provision of high-quality medical services with high standards of tourism and medical infrastructure.
Greece is a country that has all the required features to become a popular medical tourism destination. Its mild climate, its excellent geographical position, its excellent hospital and tourist infrastructure, its highly trained staff as well as the high level of medical and tourist services combined with the low cost of providing these services, are the main elements that make up the comparative advantage of the country and the possibilities it has in order to develop and distinguish itself in this sector.
The term medical tourism denotes two categories of health services:
- The management of medical needs for visitors who are in a foreign country for a holiday trip, or for a business trip, or for a temporary settlement. Includes health emergencies or routine health needs for chronic illnesses.
- "Elective Medical Tourism", where the patient chooses to travel to receive a specific medical service, motivated by factors such as: the cost of the service, the quality of the service and overall health care, the waiting time in country of origin for the provision of a similar service, the opportunity to combine medical care with entertainment/travel.
