A large number of newspapers published concerning the conference and more extensively concerning the results that Dr Athena Linos presented on the lack of harmonisation of the training of health professionals in the European Union. They also focused on the disparities in the European Union in terms of medical specialties and the need for harmonisation in that respect, as well as the need for Greece to "catch-up" especially as far as public health related specialties are considered.
