Strategy, not half-measures

Any attempt to fill the vacancies in the Greek national health system (ESY) seems doomed from the start. The response to consecutive job openings has been zero, despite various attempts to offer attractive incentives, such as higher salaries or guaranteed accommodation. 

The reluctance of doctors to join the ESY has to do with all the big problems that plague public hospitals and which are so well known. Reforming the national health requires a comprehensive strategy, not stop-gap solutions.
