August 1, 2026

The Federation of Patient Associations in Cyprus highlights the gap in home care and patient treatment, noting that citizens are paying for services that should be provided for free. The new president, Miltos Miltiadou, calls for a unified assessment of patients' needs and better management of services. He also points out issues that need to be addressed regarding the General Health System, such as waiting lists and delays in the introduction of innovative treatments. There is an emphasis on the need for organized and individualized home care. Restrictions on medical practices and the establishment of quality criteria are also central to the proposals.
