The new service of IDIKA was presented on Thursday morning by the Minister of State and Digital Government Kyriakos Pierrakakis, the Minister of Health Thanos Plevris, the Deputy Minister of Digital Governance George Georgantas and the President and CEO of IDIKA Niki Tsouma.
Medical certificates are the official certification by the doctor that a citizen can participate in sports activities safely for himself and his fellow human beings.. In addition, the possibility is provided for the certificate to be issued for any other legal use.
The procedure is performed exclusively by the doctor of each citizen. At first, the doctor registers the citizen's AMKA in the "Medical Certificates" service of the Electronic Prescribing system, selects the type of certificate (swimming pool, gym, specific sport or for any legal use) and finally chooses one of the standard texts. The medical certificate is issued automatically and is available to the citizen as follows:
- from the myHealth app, in the section "Medical Certificates"
- as long as the citizen has activated the intangible prescription, the barcode number of the medical certificate is sent by SMS and the complete medical certificate by e-mail in pdf format (depending on what the citizen has chosen as an information channel for intangible prescribing)
- if the citizen is not registered in the intangible prescription, the medical certificate is printed by the doctor.
The verification of the authenticity of the medical certificates by the bodies to which it is addressed is done through him myhealth.gov.gr/verify. There, the recipient to whom the citizen addresses the use of the medical certificate has the opportunity to search for it with the barcode code and to check its details, such as the name, the specialty of the doctor, the type and text he has written. also, depending on the status of the medical certificate one of the following messages is displayed:
- "Valid Medical Certificate"
- "Expired Medical Certificate" (The medical certificates for Swimming Pools, Gyms or Specific Sports are valid for one year)
- "Invalid Medical Certificate"
To check a medical certificate according to the above procedure, the recipient enters the platform myhealth.gov.gr/verify with the codes on Taxisnet.
