The Greek Ministry of Health has recently introduced 10 modern
and directly accessible electronic services for the self-employed,
the freelancers, and the company employers on a platform named EFKA
(e-EFKA), in an effort to battle the existing bureaucracy. These
services are only a few of the 50 in total electronic services that
are being provided by the institution's platform.
The strategy aims to minimize the physical presence visits to
EFKA, to eliminate any unnecessary hassle and to provide
uninterrupted 24-hour service for all citizens. The goal of e-EFKA
is that all transactions will be conducted electronically.
Consequently, more than 5 million electronic transactions
are expected to take place in 2021, saving thousands
of man-hours.
