Air Bridge of Life: Cyprus and Greece collaborate on transplant assistance

Cyprus and Greece are collaborating to create an air bridge of life for patients in need of urgent transplants. This cooperation follows political and technical processes over the past months and was discussed at a high level during the meeting of EU health ministers in Nicosia. Cyprus does not have the necessary resources to perform transplants and air transport of patients to Greece will allow timely access to critical treatments. The relevant organizations of the two countries will cooperate to develop the appropriate framework for cooperation, aiming to create a functional mechanism that ensures the safe and rapid transfer of patients.
