The Council of Ministers today approved the signing of a cooperation agreement between the Hellenic Cancer Society and the Anti-Anemia Association, for the transfer of €1,713,668 from the Anti-Anemia Association to the Hellenic Cancer Society, based on its decision dated 15/10/2019, in order to be used for the creation of an Independent Thalassaemia Centre.
In her statements after the conclusion of the Council of Ministers, Minister of Health Dr. Poppy Kanari noted that this amount was originally given to the Anti-Anemia Association in order to implement the project. Subsequently, however, due to the fact that the OCIP included in its plans the implementation of other projects such as the Paediatric Endocrinology Department, the Endocrinology Department, the Infectious Diseases Department and the Laboratory of Thalassaemia, it was decided to include the construction of the Thalassaemia Centre in this unified plan. As a result, the Minister said, an agreement was signed to transfer the amount given to the Anti-Anemia Association to the OCYPY.
"A new floor will be erected in the existing building of the Thalassaemia Centre at the Makarios Hospital. It will be a modern, day-care space, which will meet the needs of our patients", Dr. Kanari pointed out.
The total cost of the integrated design of the OCYPY, including the creation of the Thalassaemia Centre, amounts to €4,380,335 + €876,067 (maintenance) plus VAT.
