Asked why the surgery could not be performed in Cyprus, Ms. Yannakis said that these are very specialized cases, which need a team to operate on them.
"It would go as you knew in Germany. Now he goes to the private hospital, Matera, in Athens, to the doctor, George Sarris, who is also the Director of the Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic, in Matera, in Greece, and is also the President of the Pan-European Society of Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgeons. We are hopeful that things will be in the best interests of the child We will be in touch with George Sarris. At 13.30 the air ambulance left, it will land in Athens, we have also arranged a ground ambulance, which will take both the child and his mother and father, to go to Matera, in Athens," he added.
In response to a question about the conditions set by Germany for people who have not been vaccinated, even in very critical cases, and the efforts made by the Ministry of Health, Ms. Giannaki said that yesterday she left the Ministry of Health at 9 p.m., because since every state has its own rules, "we cannot go in and say, you know, you can put it in."
"Since it was not accepted, I had to turn to other states so that they could accept the child. And finally, it was at 7.50pm that it was accepted by Athens and we stayed there to help the whole process," he said, referring to the difficulty of these procedures to be able to reach the end goal for the best interests of the baby. "He is a baby, three years old from Russia, who is staying here in Cyprus, and we as a ministry wanted to help him, as we helped him again a year ago," she added.
In response to another question, Ms Yannakis said the parents of the three-year-old child expressed satisfaction with the development. "I hope and I hope they are satisfied because the Republic of Cyprus, the Ministry of Health, put its heart and soul into helping them," she said. Giannaki said she had been informed by doctors at Makarios that he was stable "and we are waiting to see what will happen in the next few days when he goes to Mother in Athens."[/B]
