Back to newsCrete has announced 35 new doctor positions across Health Centers and Multi-Purpose Clinics on the island. The recruitment call aims to strengthen primary healthcare coverage in both urban and rural areas of the region. For tourists, this is positive news: more medical staff at local health centers means shorter wait times and better access to care if you need non-emergency medical attention during your stay. Health centers across the island handle minor injuries, illness, and referrals, and are often the first point of contact for visitors who fall ill. If you need medical help while in Crete, look for the nearest Kentro Ygeias (Health Center) in your area. No timeline for when the new doctors will be in post has been confirmed yet.
