AKEL Prioritizes Citizen Health in Article-by-Article Discussion on Imaging Centers

The House Health Committee has begun the article-by-article discussion of the bill concerning imaging centers. AKEL MP Nikos Kettiros stated that the discussion has been lengthy and intense, with the Ministry of Health delivering a new text. While some stakeholders have reached agreements, others were not invited to the meetings and express serious reservations. AKEL maintains reservations regarding the mandatory presence of a doctor during any imaging procedure, as well as other points that appear to be linked to financial interests. Mr. Kettiros emphasized that the health of citizens must be the top priority and that AKEL will not agree to any regulation that jeopardizes health.
