Project Environment:
The National Public Health Organization of Greece (EODY) is implementing the “Spyros Doxiadis” Public Health Prevention Programme, funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” (MIS Code: 5201552).
The programme aims to upgrade and modernize the country’s public health structures and policies, with particular emphasis on prevention, epidemiological surveillance, healthcare professionals’ training, and strengthening the operational readiness of the public health system in responding to health crises.
In this context, the training and continuous professional development of scientific and healthcare personnel are essential prerequisites for effectively monitoring population health, identifying health threats at an early stage, and strengthening the capacity to respond to emergencies.
