Establishment of a Mechanism for Protecting Patients' Rights
October 9, 2025
The legislation for the protection of patients' rights introduces a new mechanism that requires healthcare facilities to appoint patient rights officers. These officers will support citizens in cases of issues or complaints regarding health services. Marios Charalampidis has been appointed as the first Patient Advocate, initiating the implementation of the law. Concurrently, regional committees will be established to address grievances and monitor compliance by healthcare providers. This mechanism aims to enhance transparency and the protection of patients.
