Concerns About Inadequate Care at Nicosia General Hospital
February 4, 2026
The Cyprus Nurses Union has raised serious concerns about the inadequate care of two patients at Nicosia General Hospital, who suffered cardiac arrest. According to the union’s secretary general, the patients were placed in a non-operational department due to staff shortages. The Health Services Organization responded that cardiac arrests are recorded daily and that overcrowding does not justify the union's claims. Additionally, it was noted that the budget for 2026 has not been approved, affecting the hiring of new staff. This situation raises significant concerns about patient care in public hospitals.
