Hospitals in Cyprus not ready for a second wave of pandemic
According to the President of the Cyprus Association of Nurses and Midwives Panayiotis Georgiou, hospitals and clinics in the country are not ready for the second wave of the pandemic due to lack of personnel.
He also called on the Ministry of Health and the House of Representatives to take an immediate decision on this issue.
Georgiou noted that the Public Health Organization has not kept its promise to hire immediately 160 nurses and an additional 100 until February 2021.
He added that the general hospital of Famagusta, which now operates as the main hospital receiving patients with COVID-19, is no longer able to withstand the second wave of the pandemic, because there is not enough medical staff.
