The Federation of Patient Associations of Cyprus (OSAK), KYSOA, and the Observatory of the Third Age have announced the establishment of the 'Social Alliance for the Citizen' through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding. The alliance aims for institutional cooperation, collective advocacy, and strengthening the voice of patients, people with disabilities, and the elderly in public dialogue and policy-making. Representatives of the three organizations emphasized that this collaboration is a public commitment to protecting the health, dignity, and human rights of vulnerable citizens, combating indifference and political expediency. The need for support for the elderly was highlighted, ensuring adequate pensions, access to healthcare services, and long-term care, as well as combating abuse and neglect.
