Delay in Discussion on Central Management of Ambulances
February 11, 2026
The discussion about creating a National Ambulance Agency is back in focus due to a letter from the OAKY asking for a delay on the proposed bill. The Federation of Patient Associations of Cyprus opposes the retention of ambulances under the OAKY. Additionally, the case of a 38-year-old patient who could not be transported for a transplant highlights issues in pre-hospital care. The Health Minister is involved in discussions, as there is pressure for intervention in the situation. The need for an independent agency to coordinate ambulance services is urgent.
