Increased Bed Occupancy Due to Seasonal Infections

Public hospitals are facing full occupancy due to a surge in seasonal infections, primarily caused by the RSV virus. The occupancy rates in the pathological, pulmonological, and pediatric wards exceed 90%, affecting children and the elderly the most. The Cyprus State Health Services Organisation has increased bed availability to meet the demand, but proper management is essential to maintain hospital operations.
