The operation of the on-call services of the on-call services, which will provide health care to adults and children who are beneficiaries of the General Health System (GHS), starts today.
The Minister of Health, Michael Hadjipandela, will pay a visit at 1100 at the Latsia Health Centre on the occasion of the launch of the on-call medical services.
These services will involve the provision of health care by adult personal physicians and paediatricians in a primary care setting and will only address emergency health problems that arise at weekends and on public holidays. Opening hours will be on Saturdays from 09:00 to 17:00 and on Sundays and public holidays from 15:00 to 19:00.
Beneficiaries can contact the on-call services when they have an acute onset of worrying symptoms, when they experience sudden and severe pain, when the symptoms of a serious chronic illness worsen or when they develop a high fever accompanied by other symptoms.
Beneficiaries should not contact PI on-call services for pre-existing medical conditions, to obtain repeat prescriptions, to obtain referrals to other GHS services, or for situations in which the beneficiary has not had time to visit his or her Personal Physician.
