George Pamboridis reported a serious incident where a woman with post-operative complications was refused admission to a private hospital in Nicosia due to a lack of beds. The patient was subsequently transferred to the General Hospital of Nicosia. Pamboridis described these practices as 'condemnable' and plans to report the incident to the Patient Advocate. He also mentioned that similar cases have become frequent in the private sector. If the patient's condition worsens, there may be criminal liabilities for the responsible parties.
