The final and irrevocable solution is the mono-insurance health system, Averof Neophytou, Presidential Candidate of the Republic and President of the Democratic Rally, Averof Neophytou, said during his visit to the Nicosia General Hospital, stressing the necessity of having a strong economy to support it.
Speaking to the management and heads of the clinics of the General Hospital, he said that "we could not have a Health Plan without a strong economy. If we want to continue to have the GHC and have it improve, a necessary condition is to keep the economy of the country strong."
The DISY President said that "is the GHC sustainable because we have an economic growth rate in recent years of 6%." Moreover, he added that "the solution in the health sector has been taken, it is final and irrevocable, it is the mono-insurance, full stop."
He also noted that there is no health plan without the backbone of state hospitals. He added, however, that the entire burden of first aid cannot be on the shoulders of state-run hospitals alone. He also said that controls are necessary to combat any abuse and exploitation. Doctors and nursing homes must be linked to the quality of medical care, he noted.
In statements after the meeting, Neophytou said that in the last ten years work has been done in the health sector as never before. "Work in infrastructure, equipment and organisation that saves lives", underlining the implementation of the YESY. "We of the Democratic Rally government, who brought this blessing of the YESY, we will shield it for even better health services to citizens," he said.
He added that upgrading hospitals is a priority, citing the Centre for Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders, the New Mental Health Hospital, the Mental Health Hostel, the upgrading of the CMP and, soon, the creation of the CMP for children.
"The collaboration of the Directorate General of OCHS, and the dedicated scientific, administrative, nursing, medical and labour staff, is delivering results. Results that were shown in the excellent management of the pandemic, with our country being one of the best countries in the world in terms of management," Neophytou said.
He concluded by saying that the new integrated information system is currently being designed. "With greater immediacy, flexibility and personal service, health care in our country is finally turning a new page. And it is changing for the better," he concluded.
