A Social Protection Committee Peer Review on improving long-term care in Greece took place in Athens from January 27-28, 2026, hosted by the Greek Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family Affairs. Participants included peer country representatives from Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czechia, Hungary, Italy, the European Commission, and thematic experts. The two-day review focused on three themes: coverage of long-term care services, adequacy of care, and workforce/informal caregiver challenges. Discussions analyzed regional disparities in access, funding models, service gaps, and coordination between health and social care. The second day addressed adequacy, resource allocation, and funding mechanisms, while the final session explored workforce recruitment, training, and support for informal caregivers. The review concluded with a feedback session summarizing key challenges, transferable practices, and opportunities for mutual learning among participating countries.
