Reforms and investments for health at the heart of the President's directives for the continuous upgrading of the General Health Care System
The President of the Republic Mr. Nicos Anastasiades chaired a wide conference on "Health for All" at the Presidential Palace today.
In a statement to journalists after the meeting, Government Spokesman Marios Pelekanos said that "the President of the Republic today chaired a wide-ranging meeting on the governance pillar 'Health for All', during which the situation of the health sector in our country was examined.
The meeting was attended by the Minister of Health Mr. Michalis Hadjipandela, the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works Mr. Giannis Karousos, the Deputy Minister of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy Mr. Kyriakos Kokkinos, as well as officials and representatives of the OAI and the OCYPY.
During the meeting, the progress of the implementation of the government's programme since 2013 in the 'Health for All' pillar was reviewed and the planning for the implementation of future actions, policies and infrastructure projects, especially those included in the programme 'Cyprus for Tomorrow' was evaluated.
The President of the Republic gave instructions to monitor the situation in order to ensure the continuous upgrading of the YESY, which is assessed as the biggest reform for the benefit of all citizens since the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus.
As has been mentioned in the debate, the Cyprus Tomorrow Plan, in the health sector, includes reforms and significant investments that will ensure a resilient and efficient health system that will provide universal access to high quality health care in Cyprus.
Once the collection and updating of all the necessary data has been completed, the President of the Republic will hold a press conference to inform citizens about the work that has been done and the plans for the future."
