Michailidou: Invitation for 700 doctors to KEPA – Deadlines and procedures

“Thirteen years after the establishment of the Disability Certification Centers, today we more than double the number of KEPA doctors and increase the specialties that certify disability. Another commitment of ours, towards our disabled fellow citizens, is being implemented“, the Minister of Labor and Social Security Domna Michailidou announced on Thursday.

“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 the responsible minister in her statements.

“With today’s invitation (SS. see her here) for the inclusion of 700 doctors in the Register of the Special Body of Doctors (ESI) of the K.E.P.A., the strengthening of the Disability Certification Centers is implemented, 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“, added Mrs. Michailidou.

According to the challenge, the number of doctors certifying disability at the KE.PA.A will more than double from the current 500, 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 creation of the KE.PA. in 2011, pediatricians, developmentalists and child psychiatrists will join the Committees.

The interested parties (doctors), enter using their personal TAXISnet codes at the online address https://www.efka.gov.gr/aitisi-esi and fill in the fields of the electronic application-declaration, which include the basic identity information and communication, as well as their additional information, such as, for example, degrees, other required qualifications, graded criteria, etc.
