How the Greece healthcare system works — public vs private care, eligibility, and costs for residents and visitors.
Greece provides public healthcare through the national system (ESY), funded via social-security (EFKA) contributions. Residents affiliate through work or other qualifying status; EU visitors use the EHIC.
- Insured residents access public healthcare via EFKA social-security registration.
- EU visitors can use the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for necessary care.
- Private insurance and clinics supplement the public system.
