“It is time for the revolutionary NHS of ’81 to go to the NHS, the NSS of the New Age, which will respond to the 21st century,” PASOK’s Network President and Political Planning Chairman, Anna Diamantopoulou, said at a Network for the Network for the Network:
In her speech on the digital health revolution in the field of health and wanting to show the progress of other countries, while Greece is still behind new technologies, he said a typical example of a British hospital. The health structure mentioned by the Network President serves about 600,000 citizens. It supplies them with a stick, which examines their urine regularly. They take a photo and send it the hospital. Through artificial intelligence, the Nursing Foundation draws conclusions and responds to citizens, with very significant results: the cases of kidney failure, as well as other diseases that can be prevented, have decreased.
“Our goal for years is to convince us that digital transformation is a prerequisite for the development of the country,” Ms Diamantopoulou noted, adding that this is not just an IT project, but a “priority that citizens must first watch”.
He pointed out that Greece is second to the end of the list of European countries in terms of digital transformation. “Despite the efforts we make, others make leaps. And it’s something that should mean alarm. “
How can digital transformation in health help? In anticipation of a disease, proper diagnosis, care for health services in remote areas of the country, reduce errors, bureaucracy, need for double exams. Also, in reducing the budget to use state resources in very necessary areas.
What does the Ministry of Health need, according to Ms. Diamantopoulou? Among other things, data analysts, telemedicine consultants, cyber security specialists, doctors re -education. Indicatively, he said that the Department of E -Government of the Ministry of Health has ten people, but no specialist in new technologies.
“If we do not go to a major reform, the NHS cannot meet new challenges,” the Network President said, adding: “We need to change the terms of discussion. We have 2.2 billion euros from the recovery fund and the NSRF, which are mainly directed to hospital renovations and new machinery orders. After renovating our hospitals we will see that the problems remain the same. “
