Necessary Review of Restrictions on the Functioning of Personal Doctors
June 18, 2026
Organized patients are calling for a review of the restrictions imposed by the Health Insurance Organization, which affect access to specialist doctors. Many patients are forced to pay €25 to avoid delays in their treatment due to the referral limits. The president of the Cyprus Patients' Federation emphasizes that these restrictions are unacceptable and need amendments. Additionally, he calls for the enhancement of quality criteria in medical care. This situation is causing significant distress for citizens and requires immediate action.
