Abstract

In Greece, nowadays, there is a huge disappointment for the health system because of the high participation of households in it. While the health system, (law 1397/1983), was designed to guarantee to whole population the free access to medical services, in 2006 more than 38% of its income was spent to private health services equivalent to 3.5% of GDP. Among the countries of OECD only USA, Switzerland and Mexico had a higher participation in private health. This paper presents the results of a study realized in 2009 regarding the procurement processes, the new technologies use and the time required for its implementation by the personnel in Greek public hospitals. The objective of this article is to present the research results and to propose a new way of procurement reducing not only the implementing time required but also the requisition costs of the necessary goods and services.
