Healthcare Issues for Dementia Patients
October 10, 2025
Patients with dementia in Cyprus are in a difficult situation as the state does not recognize their condition as a disease or disability that justifies financial assistance. Many are left without proper care and may suffer in remote areas. Representatives from the Council of the Elderly are sounding the alarm for elderly individuals, highlighting the challenges they face within the healthcare system. They emphasize the need for training professionals in dementia care and call for improved services. The situation is expected to worsen if no measures are taken.
