The operation of the on-call clinics and their opening date were the focus of a meeting held today at the Ministry of Health under the chairmanship of the Minister of Health Mr. Michael Hadjipandela. The meeting was attended by the Director General of the Ministry of Health, the managements of the OAI and the OKYPY, the President of the Pancyprian Medical Association, the Presidents of the PASYKI and PASYDY Medical and Clinical Directors' Guilds, as well as representatives of the Paediatric Society, and the Societies of Pathology, General Medicine, and Personal and Family Doctors.
During the meeting, it was decided that the goal is for the on-call clinics to begin on July 9, 2022, in all provinces, as any outstanding issues raised during previous meetings are resolved.
More information on the process of the integrated on-call planning and model will be announced in the coming days.
All stakeholders recognize that Public Hospitals are the backbone of the Health System and therefore the launch of the on-call system will start from the infrastructure of the OCYPY, as the largest health care provider in Cyprus.
