Overall, nearly 300,000 people with special needs have found substantial help the digital platform since it launched in September 2022, it was added, doing away with thousands of on-site visits and protecting personal data.
Dealing with long-term issues of people with special needs is high on the list of priorities of the Labour & Social Insurance Ministry, said minister Adonis Georgiadis, adding that the digital transformation of the unified national insurance fund e-EFKA has now made their daily lives easier.
