How is the medical care in Greece?

Immigration to Greece, whether to immigrate or not, is the thought of many people before they obtain immigration status. But after they actually obtained their immigration status, many customers chose to actually move abroad because of children's education issues, domestic living environment, food safety issues, etc.! When living abroad, apart from the four major issues of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the most worrying thing is medical issues. Especially in an immigration program like Greece, where one person can immigrate to three generations and obtain status, the elderly and children live together, so medical issues are particularly important. The Greek government spends approximately 10.1% of its gross national product on health care. Much higher than other developed countries, such as the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, the annual investment in medical care accounts for about 7.5%-8% of the gross national product. The Greek government spends so much because of the many beautiful islands it owns. The Greek government has a government-managed hospital on each island to protect the medical needs of tourists and residents from all over the world. Customers who obtain a residence permit in Greece by purchasing a house can enjoy free medical services in public hospitals just like local citizens. Of course, if customers need to go to a local private hospital to enjoy a higher level of services, they only need to purchase medical insurance. The simplest medical insurance costs around 200 euros per year and can cover common illnesses, surgeries and hospitalizations. For customers who live for a long time, there are also insurance options with higher insurance amounts and covering the entire European Union. Greece’s medical security system ranks 14th in the world. The local hygiene level is very high, and the tap water can be drank directly. The average life expectancy is 80.3 years, which is higher than the world average age of 79.5 years. This is also a manifestation of Greece's overall high level of medical care.
