Ongoing Issues at Makareio Hospital: Risks for Children

Makareio Hospital is facing serious problems due to ongoing renovation works, with parents reporting adverse conditions such as noise pollution, leaks, and dirty water. Despite announcements from the Cyprus Organisation of State Health Services (OKYpY) regarding measures to limit work during midday hours, videos show that the work continues. Additionally, there is a risk of electric shock in the hospital kitchen, with the public being advised to avoid using electrical appliances. The situation has caused strong reactions from parents of hospitalized children, who speak of 'third-world' conditions.
