The way the on-call clinics operate and their start date was the focus of a meeting held today at the Ministry of Health under the chairmanship of Health Minister Michael Hadjipandela.
The meeting was attended by the Director General of the Ministry of Health, the managements of the OAI and the OKYPY, the President of the Pancyprian Medical Association, the presidents of the PASYKI and PASYDY Medical and Clinical Directors' Branch guilds, as well as representatives of the Paediatric Society, and the Societies of Pathology, General Medicine, and Personal and Family Doctors.
At the meeting, it was decided that the goal is for on-call clinics to begin on July 9, 2022, in all provinces, as any outstanding issues raised at previous meetings are resolved.
More information on the integrated on-call planning and model process will be released in the coming days.
"All stakeholders recognize that public hospitals are the backbone of the Health System and therefore the launch of the on-call system will start from the infrastructure of OKYPY, as the largest health care provider in Cyprus," concludes a statement from the Ministry of Health.
