Designing What Works:
From Policy Intent to Health
System Reality
Thursday, May 28, 2026
Divani Caravel Hotel , Macedonia Hall
Where Greece’s healthcare decision-makers meet to define what truly works – aligning policy, governance, financing, and innovation to build resilient and high-performing health systems for the future.
Healthcare is entering a decisive phase. At a pivotal stage for European and national health systems, reform demands more than vision – it is no longer theoretical; it is operational.
The Future of Healthcare in Greece Conference 2026 moves beyond discussion to focus on implementation, measurable impact, and structural transformation. At a critical juncture for Greek healthcare, the conference brings together policymakers, regulators, institutional leaders, healthcare providers, and industry stakeholders to examine how policy intent translates into tangible health system reality.
Under this year’s theme, “Designing what Works: From Policy Intent to Health System Reality,” the conference addresses the hard choices shaping the sustainability of the Greek health system, explores how pharmaceutical innovation, real-world evidence, and value-based financing can accelerate access to new therapies, and highlights the workforce and digital capacity required to deliver long-term reform in the Greek healthcare ecosystem.
The 2026 edition positions itself as a high-level strategic platform aligned with European health policy priorities, bringing together public and private stakeholders – including the pharmaceutical and MedTech industry – committed to advancing a sustainable, innovative, and patient-centred healthcare system in Greece.
