Describing the meeting as highly constructive, it said that the meeting included suggestions for the improvement of the YESY for the benefit of quality and patient service, such as the strengthening and modernization of public hospitals, "so that they are the first choice of every Cypriot citizen, offering high quality health services," the statement said.
"With very great satisfaction the OSAK delegation welcomed Mr Christodoulides' clear statement that the philosophy and architecture of the system as well as the support of Public Hospitals should be preserved so that they truly form the backbone of the YESY," the OSAK statement added.
In addition, the organization notes that its position on restructuring the Ministry of Health and assuming its proper role in the new environment was discussed.
"In our country too, the issues of prevention and protection of public health should be placed high on the state's priorities," it was said at the meeting, according to the OSAA, adding that in order to complete the reform, the issues of the operation of university clinics and hospitals, the electronic file, e-health, as well as the National Centre for Clinical Documentation and Excellence should be promoted," it said.
Reference was also made to the need to modernise the legislation, which governs the way doctors are registered, trained and evaluated, according to the statement.
