Urgent Need for Construction of NICU at Makarios Hospital

October 3, 2025

The 'Mothers' Miracles' Association expresses its anger towards the Health Services Organization (HIS) for the delay in building a new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Makarios Hospital. The association's legal advisor, Christos Triantafyllidis, argues that there are no legal obstacles to start the project immediately. Planning processes have been delayed, putting the lives of premature babies at risk. The association is calling for the implementation of specific legislative provisions to expedite procedures. Speeding up is critical because the existing unit does not meet the needs of babies and their families.
