The founder of easyGroup, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, whose philanthropic foundation is based in the Principality, has committed to funding the retention of 80 doctors on 47 remote Greek islands for seven years.<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n\n

Sir Stelios Philanthropic Foundation announced in a statement on 5 March that it would be making a donation of more than \u20ac10 million to the Greek national health system. The donation agreement was signed during an official ceremony at the Prime Minister’s office, in the presence of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou and Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis.<\/p>\n\n

“The programme targets 47 islands with a winter population of less than 4,000 inhabitants, served by the country’s smallest primary care facilities,”\u00a0explained the Greek Prime Minister in a video posted on LinkedIn<\/a>. Each of the 80 doctors concerned will receive an additional net income of \u20ac1,500 per month, paid over twelve months, bringing their net monthly remuneration to around \u20ac3,000.<\/p>\n\n

Kyriakos Mitsotakis emphasised that this initiative differs from the usual donations, which focus on infrastructure, by targeting the healthcare system’s human resources directly. The high cost of living and isolation of these territories discourage many practitioners.<\/p>\n\n
