The Greek Health Ministry has launched public consultation on a comprehensive bill that would reshape professional regulations for healthcare workers in the mental health sector. The legislation goes beyond a single occupational group, simultaneously addressing requirements for psychologists, psychotherapists, and counselors. The reforms are expected to introduce new specialty classifications, create an updated professional association framework, and implement stricter operational guidelines. Minister Georgiadis characterized the changes as among the most extensive institutional interventions in healthcare professions in recent years. The public consultation period will allow stakeholders to submit feedback before final legislative proceedings.
