Thalassemia Clinic in Paphos Faces Staffing Crisis

The Thalassemia Clinic in Paphos is facing serious problems due to the absence of a second doctor. The only doctor is required to cover needs in Limassol as well, resulting in patients being left uncovered, even for scheduled transfusions. The Paphos Thalassemia Patients Association has lodged strong protests, denouncing the weakening of the clinic and the risks to patient health. They are calling for the immediate hiring of a second doctor and the cessation of the existing doctor's transfers. The OKYPY explains that the recruitment process has been delayed due to the refusal of a doctor from Greece.
