OBJECTIVE: Until 2016, around 3 million persons had limited
                access to health care in Greece due to the economic crisis. We
                describe a massive solidarity movement of community clinics and
                pharmacies in Greece. METHOD: We conducted a survey in 2014-15
                and describe the characteristics of community clinics and
                pharmacies spontaneously established all over Greece after 2008.
                RESULTS: A characteristic of the 92 active solidarity clinics is
                autonomous collective functioning, free services, and funding
                from non-governmental sources. The largest clinics examined more
                than 500 uninsured or partly insured patients per month. Clinics
                covered a wide range of clinical and preventive services.
                Funding, availability of drugs, vaccines, medical material and
                their legal status were the main problems identified. The
                solidarity movement involved thousands of health professionals
                covering essential population needs. CONCLUSIONS: The community
                outpatient clinics were an outstanding example of solidarity and
                temporarily alleviated the health needs of a large part of the
                population.
