A meeting with the leadership of the Pancyprian Multiple Sclerosis Association was held today by the Minister of Health, Dr. Popi Kanari.
The meeting focused on various demands of the Association concerning the provision of medicines to chronic patients by the pharmacies of public hospitals on a bi-monthly instead of monthly basis, the unhindered access of multiple sclerosis patients to all consumables and medical supplies and the increase in the number of physiotherapies for people with severe motor disabilities. Also discussed was the issue of state sponsorship for the Association's physiotherapy/mobility therapy and psychological support programmes.
For her part, Dr Kanari noted that the Ministry of Health has a positive view of the Association's requests and will do everything possible to solve its problems. In fact, regarding the issue of extending the time frame for the provision of medicines to chronic patients, she stressed that she has taken an initiative in cooperation with the OAI for the immediate settlement of the issue.
