In a statement, it says that the organized movement of patients is anxiously watching what is happening in public hospitals. It supports the demands of the public doctors as they have been made public by their trade union PASYKI, since they have been raised and discussed repeatedly by the OSAK in recent years but unfortunately, despite the commitments, the problems that exist have not been resolved.
In the statement, it is stated that the serious issues facing the TEPs such as proper staffing, equipment, procedures and organization have serious implications for the proper functioning of the departments and, by extension, for patients who are inconvenienced and wait for hours to be served and several times with serious consequences even on their health.
The OSAK notes, however, that it does not agree with taking strike action because it is the patients who are suffering and who bear no responsibility.
The organised patients' movement calls on doctors and nurses to cooperate with it in order to exert the necessary pressure to promote the modernisation and upgrading of our public hospitals so that they can fulfil their role and mission.
Noting that we are facing serious developments, it calls on the Board of Directors of the OCYPY to assume its heavy responsibility for the delays in the real autonomy and upgrading of public hospitals.
