Dear friends,
It is with great pleasure and emotion that I welcome today's press conference for the delivery of €31.830 from the Cyprus Paediatric Society to the Ministry of Health for the purpose of supporting the Paediatric Clinics operating in the Hospitals of the State Health Services Organisation throughout Cyprus.
The amount is the net proceeds from the two musical charity events entitled "Because we believe", organised by the Cyprus Paediatric Society as part of its social contribution.
The concerts took place on 17 September 2022 at the Ancient Theatre of Kourion in Limassol and on 19 September 2022 at the Amphitheatre of the School for the Blind in Nicosia.
The participation of the fine artists Marios Fragoulis and Deborah Myers, who were accompanied by the children's choir of the Diastasis Group, ensured the success, giving the 2,500 spectators two magical musical evenings.
The Cyprus Paediatric Society, one of the oldest and most caring Medical Societies in Cyprus, plays a leading role in both the medical and social events of the country. With 54 years of active and uninterrupted presence and contribution, faithful to the principles of the promotion of Medical Science, it actively contributes to the efforts to strengthen and upgrade the health care services provided to the children of Cyprus.
Giving to our fellow man is the ultimate achievement in our society, even more so if the offer is addressed to children.
Children are undeniably the guarantee for the prosperity of any state and on them rests the hope that we continue to have a vision as a society for a better future and aim to promote sustainable development.
Through children we channel our need for a better tomorrow, for a society more humane than our own.
Through children we channel our need for a better tomorrow, for a society more humane than ours. As bearers of hope and optimism, therefore, children deserve our attention and help more than anyone or anything else.
Without a doubt, health is a social good, not just a commodity and a privilege for a few. The Ministry of Health, always giving high priority to the continuous improvement of the health services offered to children, is a supporter of every effort that has as its aim and purpose both the promotion of the good health of our children and the continuous improvement of the services offered to the suffering child.
The implementation of the country's biggest reform in the health sector, the introduction of the GHS on 1 June 2019, has opened new horizons in the provision of health care, ensuring universal access of our citizens to high quality health services through a universal and functional, efficient and economically sustainable system.
As the Ministry of Health, we warmly thank the Cyprus Paediatric Society both for this generous contribution and for the truly commendable work it has done over the years.
Having as our main concern the continuation of quality health care for our children, we assure you that the Ministry of Health and the HCMC will make full use of the donation for the benefit of our young patients.
Thank you!
