Delay in Completion of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

June 15, 2025

The new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is not completed as scheduled for September, and delays are causing concern. About 9,000-10,000 premature infants are born annually in Cyprus, and the only existing unit is insufficient to meet needs. Prematurity is linked to serious health complications, and proper care after birth is crucial. The situation requires urgent action to complete the project and improve existing facilities.
