Data
Let me note, in a way of introduction, that the Greek data on health are
inadequate or, in certain cases, unreliable or non-existed. As a consequence,
the figures provided to European and international organizations, such as
Eurostat or WHO, often cover a limited spectrum of statistical information,
thence the blank spaces in data presentation.
