Cyprus Oncology Society
The Cyprus Oncology Society (OEK), in response to a complaint about the protective measures taken due to the Covid-19 pandemic in hospitals and the isolation of patients, with specific reference to cancer patients and the Oncology Department of Nicosia General Hospital, expressing its sympathy to the patients' families, noting that the measures are aimed at avoiding the spread of the pandemic within the hospitals and especially in oncology departments treating immunosuppressed patients.
In a statement, the OIC expresses its appreciation and support for the health professionals who carry out an extremely difficult task with conscientiousness, having, among other things, the thankless role of implementing, as they should, the protective measures announced by the State, which from a scientific point of view are absolutely correct since they are based on recommendations of international organisations and are applied internationally.
Furthermore, the OCC notes the reference to the different treatment received by a cancer patient and his family with regard to the visiting room and protective measures at the 'Arodafnousa' Palliative Care Centre, and stresses that the Palliative Care Centres do not accommodate immunosuppressed patients, who require greater protection. This fact, he says, highlights the need to allocate more beds for end-stage oncological patients in the Palliative Care Centres.
