Nurses at Athalassa Hospital Concerned About Unsuitable Wards

The Mental Health Nursing Branch of PASYDY expresses strong concerns about the unsuitability of the wards at Athalassa Hospital, which endangers the safety of patients and staff. The wards have been deemed unsuitable and require demolition, but despite previous renovation efforts, the situation remains problematic. The Branch calls on the state, the Ministry of Health, and OKYPY to take immediate action to resolve the issue and ensure decent care. Furthermore, it highlights the lack of a long-term strategy in the planning and development of Mental Health Services and the delay in implementing the second phase of the new Athalassa Hospital.
