Andreas Ioannou, representing personal doctors, strongly countered the remarks made by lawmakers regarding the work of doctors within the General Healthcare System (GeSY). He stated that doctors are not merely referral specialists and are dedicated to providing quality services. He acknowledged the differences among the medical specialties involved in GeSY and emphasized the need for expertise to better serve patients. Ioannou argued that current requirements for registered patients are excessive. His remarks were made in response to criticisms directed at personal doctors by the parliamentary health committee.
