Parents' Concern over Works at Makarios Hospital - "Children's Safety Threatened"

The Pan-Cypriot Association of Parents and Friends of the Pediatric Oncology Unit expresses strong concern over the renovation works at Makarios Hospital, which are affecting the Pediatric Oncology Clinic. While recognizing the need for renovation, parents are calling for a new, modern mother and child hospital. They highlight problems such as noise pollution, dust falling from false ceilings, water leaks, and water supply disruptions, which pose a risk to the health and safety of hospitalized children. The Association demands an immediate reassessment of protection measures, an update of the risk management plan, and strict monitoring of the works to ensure the safety of children.
