First of all, I would like to congratulate the Pancyprian Antianemic Association for the excellent work it performs and the continuous efforts it makes to address the problems faced by our fellow human beings with thalassemia.
The President of the Republic Mr. Nicos Anastasiades and the Government, with their policies, seek to ensure the quality of life of patients. Proof of the President's great interest in the issues that concern patients is the application and implementation of the GESY, the largest reform implemented in our country since the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus.
The illumination of the Presidential Palace, on the day of World Thalassaemia Day, in red, which symbolizes the donation of blood, sends the message that the State is and will continue to be at your side, offering every assistance.
I take this opportunity to appeal to citizens to contribute to thalassaemia awareness efforts.
The Ministry of Health, just the day before yesterday, Friday, launched an appeal for blood donations.
The Ministry of Health, just the day before yesterday, launched an appeal for blood donations. Let us all respond to this appeal by actively supporting our fellow human beings in need.
We express our sincere thanks to blood donors, whose altruistic act gives people with thalassaemia the right to a normal life.
