Legal context for asulum seekers/refugees
Από Greece Wiki
The right of asylum seekers and refugees to free medical care
Presidential Decree 668/18.5.2005 foresees free health care for asylum seekers and refugees who are not insured and cannot cover the related expenses. Free medical treatment includes free treatment at public hospitals and free acess to medication from public hospitals. To ensure access to free health care, asylum seekers should possess the special asylum seekers card, and refugees should possess the special id card for political refugees. The same applies (according to P.D. 266/1999) for aliens whose stay in Greece has been permitted on humanitarian grounds and has not yet expired.
