Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Meetings & their role in the Greek reality

The importance of MDT meetings in managing complex patients internationally recognized and well established. It is an important tool in all successful health systems worldwide and represents multiple benefits:

  • Ensures safety and quality assurance
  • Allows input from experts with different fields of interest in order to suggest the ideal treatment option for the individual patient
  • Promotes the development of medical science
  • Is an excellent training tool

In Greece, MDT meetings are being used for a number of years in the management of serious life-threatening diseases such as malignancies (oncology MDT meetings). However, the role of an MDT in a formal and organized context or not, is by no means limited there. On the contrary, MDT meetings have a lot to offer in many areas of medical science in general and Obstetrics – Gynaecology in particular.
