A disciplinary investigation will be launched into the incident of an elderly woman left naked and uncovered at the Limassol General Hospital last month, state health services organisation (Okypy) said on Monday.
A photo of the woman caused a social media uproar in just a few hours after it was posted by geriatrician Dr Marios Kyriazis on Facebook.
Initially Okypy said the situation was “not how it looks” and carried an investigation, the first stage of which has been completed.
The conclusion has been sent to the organisation’s management and based on the results Okypy “will proceed with a disciplinary investigation and in cases where non-compliance with procedures is identified, will take appropriate action”.
A full update on the matter will be provided upon completion of the disciplinary investigation as well, Okypy said, concluding that with “with regard to the taking of photographs and their publication, a complaint to the police and is awaiting an update”.
