Amendments and Concerns Regarding Rehabilitation Centers

October 23, 2025

The discussion of the bill regulating the operation of rehabilitation centers is back in the Health Committee of the Parliament, with proposed amendments from the parties AKEL, DIKO, and EDEK. Organized patients express concerns that the proposed changes are insufficient and still allow centers to operate without proper evaluation. They demand mandatory evaluation of all centers before licensing and warn of potential measures if citizens' interests are not secured. The amendments cover issues of categorization and building requirements. The situation remains ongoing in an effort to find mutually acceptable solutions.
