Health

Prior to your visit to Greece, prepare for the event that you need medical care:
 

•  If your country of origin is an EU member-state make sure you are a holder of the European Health Card (EHIC) or any other legal EU document issued by your nation’s social security agency. You can find more information about the EHIC here. In such cases, the necessary treatment in Greece is provided by:

- IKA (Social Security Institute) Health Units (polyclinics) or doctors’ clinics in the region of travel; 
- Regional clinics (formerly rural clinics) or the Health Centres of the National Health System
- The outpatient departments of hospitals
 

• If your country of origin is not an EU member-state, make sure you have consulted your social security agency for information before travelling.
