“Thirteen years after the establishment of the Disability Certification Centers (KEPA), today we are more than doubling the number of doctors at KEPA and increasing the specialties that certify disability. Another of our commitments towards our disabled fellow citizens is being put into practice”, said the Minister of Labor and Social Security, Domna Michailidou.
“This decision of ours, which comes a few months after the 50% increase in the fees of KEPA doctors, is part of our integrated plan for the upgrading and smooth operation of the Disability Certification Centers for the benefit of our disabled fellow citizens, as well as the scientific staff of the Centers”, said Mrs. Michailidou.
The Minister of Labor and Social Security emphasized that with today’s issuance of an invitation for the inclusion of 700 doctors in the Register of the Special Body of Doctors (ESI) of KEPA, the reinforcement of the Disability Certification Centers to deal with many chronic problems, such as the long wait for the determination of an examination date by the health committees, due to the number of applications and the limitation of the number of doctors and specialties.
According to the challenge, the number of doctors certifying disability at KEPA will more than double from 500, which is today, with the addition of another 700, it will reach 1,200. At the same time, the number of specialties is also increasing, as, for the first time since the KEPAs were created in 2011, pediatricians, developmentalists and child psychiatrists will join the Committees.
