Material - Methods: An attempt will be made to highlight the critical role of value as a guiding principle for healthcare reform, supporting strategic investment in human resources, the adoption of modern costing methods and the application of technology and innovation to enhance care delivery. By highlighting the challenges and opportunities for implementing value-based healthcare in Greece, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the steps necessary for systemic transformation. Results: This study contributes to the understanding of healthcare reform by offering insights into the opportunities for systemic transformation. The emphasis on value emerges as a key element, highlighting its importance for achieving a resilient and equitable future in healthcare. This research offers practical insights for policymakers, healthcare administrators and managers, advocating a balanced and adaptive approach to healthcare governance that emphasizes strategic foresight and innovative solutions to navigate the complexities of the healthcare sector.
