Ειλικρινής αξιολόγηση
Τι να Λάβετε υπόψη
24% VAT on Private Clinic Services
A 24% VAT rate applies to private healthcare in Greece — one of the highest in the EU. This reduces but does not eliminate the savings vs UK prices. Factor this into your quote comparison.
No Centralised Electronic Health Registry
Greece lacks a national e-health record system. Medical records are held at individual clinic level. International patients should bring all prior medical documentation in digital format.
Revenue Decline in the Sector
Medical tourism revenues fell from €61.7M (2022) to €30.6M (2024), reflecting structural barriers the industry is working to resolve. Choose established, internationally recognised clinics.
Surrogacy Process Timeline
Legal surrogacy in Greece requires court approval, which typically takes 3–6 months. This must be factored into treatment planning. Legal counsel is required.
