The Network

 

Junior Doctors' Network-Hellas (JDN-Hellas) is a non-governmental, non-profit association founded by junior doctors in Athens, Greece on 28 September 2014.

​

Its main goal is to create a forum for exchange of views and experiences, discussion of policy statements, development of projects and activities of interest to junior doctors, in the areas of:

​

• public health,

• post-graduate medical education and training,

• safe working conditions,

• and mobility of junior doctors.

 

Its structure and function is based on the “Junior Doctors’ Network-JDN of Associate Members of the World Medical Association-WMA” (JDN-WMA), which was founded in 2011 in Uruguay and is active worldwide.

​

JDN-Hellas has the following 5 pillars of work:
