PASYKAF Welcomes Palliative Care Bill Approval

The Pan Cypriot Association of Cancer Patients and Friends (PASYKAF) welcomes the unanimous approval of the Palliative Care Bill by the House of Representatives. This bill represents a significant turning point for the healthcare system in Cyprus, as it is the first time a comprehensive legislative framework has been established to ensure universal access to palliative care services, both in and out of hospitals, as well as at home. The law sets quality standards, introduces control mechanisms, and strengthens the rights of patients and their families. PASYKAF, as a key provider of palliative care services, is committed to continuing to contribute to the development and implementation of the law, for the benefit of patients and their families.
