Cyprus / Outrage over Patient with Rare Leukemia: Is Her Life at Risk Due to Ministry Delay?

A woman in Cyprus, Ramona, is facing a tragic situation as she suffers from a rare form of leukemia and access to her treatment is delayed due to bureaucratic obstacles. Despite the efforts of doctors and the finding of a donor for an allogeneic transplant, the Ministry of Health has not approved the operation of the center where the transplant could take place. Ramona, a mother and single parent, does not have the financial means to travel abroad for treatment and denounces the system's inability to respond promptly to the needs of patients. Her story has caused outrage and highlights the need for immediate action.
