OKYPY responds to the publicity regarding incidents in public hospitals.
In a statement, the OCYP stresses that it fully respects the decrees and provides patients with the best possible care.
"Important work is carried out every day in the organisation's hospitals, with the aim of saving lives. Every day, doctors, nurses and paramedics carry out an extremely difficult task, tirelessly, selflessly and unceasingly. In no case are patients left alone and helpless, without protection and care," he stresses.
At the same time, he notes that the developments in the public domain, which are followed with regret, haunt the great work done in the Organization's hospitals by its people.
"The State Health Services Organization (SHSO), harmonizes and follows all decrees and laws decided for the protection of patients."
"The State Health Services Organization (SHSO), harmonizes and follows all decrees and laws decided for the protection of patients. The protocols followed in visiting relatives to patients, both in the Oncology Department and more broadly in all departments/clinics of the Organization's hospitals, aim to ensure the protection of vulnerable patients and avoid the spread of the pandemic," he adds.
According to current measures, visits to government and private hospitals are allowed only in very exceptional cases, with the approval of the Director of the hospitals.
Moreover, it says, the care, treatment and assurance of quality health services to all patients is and will remain a priority for the OCYPY.
"The OCYPY remains committed to providing quality health services to all citizens," it concludes.
