**Greek Imports of Diagnostic Reagents Surge Amid Seasonal Demand**
**Greek healthcare sector drives up imports of diagnostic reagents in Q2**
* Greece’s imports of diagnostic and laboratory reagents (HS Code 3822) rose by 8.5% year-on-year in June to €12.3 million.
* The increase is attributed to the peak summer season, which sees a higher demand for medical testing services.
* Prices of these reagents have remained steady, with no significant fluctuations reported over the past quarter.
Greece’s imports of diagnostic and laboratory reagents are expected to continue their upward trend in the coming months as the country prepares for the autumn flu season. The surge in imports reflects the growing demand from the Greek healthcare sector, which is investing heavily in modernizing its laboratories and testing facilities.
