Specificities of the Greek Healthcare System
The healthcare system in Greece combines universal public services and a vibrant private sector, providing diverse options to citizens and residents. While it ensures broad access to care through ESY and EOPYY insurance, it faces challenges such as lack of resources, long waiting times, and inequalities in access to services. Despite these limitations, the system remains an important safety net, with an orientation towards improvement through progressive reforms and investments.

Mastering a License Deal
Licensing agreements seem to be easy and straight forward. However there are traps to be considered. .Precise business planning is key, being the basis for the right rationale to calculate the license fees. What do we license in/out in the end? Does it give the anticipated scope to the licensee, does it still allow the licensor the freedom to operate?

European union drug agency’s call to action. How nasal naloxone becomes an important part of the response.
At the end of 2024, EU’s drug agency published a call to action among the member states, as new synthetic opioids are taking over the illicit drug supply with the Taliban opium ban in Afghanistan, disrupting the heroin supply. The potent synthetic opioids increase the risk of intoxication, overdose, and possible outbreaks across Europe. The member states are acting to be prepared, and one of the more important tools is to ensure an efficient take-home naloxone program. Ventizolve is today available in 7 countries, and we are looking for partners to make it available across Europe.
