Development of the National Strategy for Quality of Care and Patient Safety for Greece: co-creation process and lessons learnt
Greece's co-created strategy offers a model for other countries aiming to advance whole-system approaches to quality of care through participatory, evidence-informed policymaking. The process not only enhanced relevance and ownership, laying a strong foundation for sustainable implementation, but also assured the use of existing resources to build future directions at national, regional, and local levels. Lessons from Greece's experience can guide similar efforts to improve quality and safety across diverse health system contexts.
