The Ministry of Health informs that what was mentioned in the statements of the General Secretary of AKEL Mr. Stephanos Stefanou Stefanou at an AKEL press conference on the three years of the life of the YESY, will be discussed at length at the meeting of Health Minister Michael Hadjipandela with the AKEL leadership scheduled for next week. The position of the Ministry of Health is clear. The YESY is the greatest social achievement, since it is a reform that has been a demand of society for many decades and which became a reality with the political will of the President of the Republic Mr Nicos Anastasiades, serving thousands of citizens per day. Our attention is focused on addressing any problems recorded, and by extension on its continuous improvement and upgrading, without changing the philosophy of the System.
With regard to the problems mentioned by AKEL, the Ministry of Health informs that actions have already been initiated by the Health Insurance Agency, which, among other things, will help to limit abuses within the System, regulate the remuneration of Personal Doctors, but will also help in the inclusion of new innovative medicines in order to continue patients' treatments unhindered and facilitate beneficiaries' access to services and doctors.
