BrainReGain’s latest initiative, “Health Returns Home!”, represents a major step toward encouraging specialized Greek healthcare professionals to return to their homeland. The program is designed to bridge the growing talent gap in healthcare by creating the optimal conditions for skilled professionals to contribute to Greece’s medical future.
Addressing the increasing demand for top talent in hospitals and across the entire healthcare sector, this initiative is led by Georgios Sofianos, CEO of SOFMEDICA Group. His strategic vision emphasizes strengthening Greece’s healthcare system by ensuring that expert care, innovation, and excellence are reinvested locally.
“Bringing back talented Greek healthcare professionals is not just about reversing brain drain—it’s about investing in the future of our healthcare system. By creating the right conditions for repatriation, we ensure that expertise, innovation, and excellence return home, strengthening patient care and advancing medical practices in Greece while enabling healthcare professionals to work in their native language.” – Georgios Sofianos, CEO of SOFMEDICA Group
Key Actions of the “Health Returns Home!” Initiative: • Conduct surveys to assess repatriation conditions and design competitive employment packages.
• Launch awareness campaigns featuring testimonials from successful returnees.
• Support the establishment of Centers of Excellence.
• Offer guidance to healthcare professionals abroad on repatriation procedures and available benefits.
Greece is just the beginning. The SOFMEDICA Group aims to support or launch similar programs in other countries, working toward a sustainable healthcare ecosystem that attracts and retains top medical talent throughout the region—what we proudly call New Europe.
