Infrastructure upgrades completed at Paphos general hospital

Health Minister Neophytos Charalambides visited the Paphos general hospital on Monday to announce the completion of several infrastructure improvement projects. These upgrades, which focused specifically on the entrance and outpatient clinics, were initiated following directives issued by the Minister upon taking office. The government has prioritized these renovations to ensure a modern and welcoming environment for patients while providing suitable working conditions for medical staff.

The initiative is part of a broader national strategy carried out in collaboration with the State Health Services Organisation (Okypy) to invest in public hospitals across all districts, which the Minister described as the backbone of public healthcare. Addressing concerns regarding staffing, Charalambides stated that the ministry remains in constant contact with Okypy to identify needs and allocate resources accordingly.

Looking ahead, the Minister confirmed that plans for the new hospital in Polis Chrysochous are proceeding according to the established timetable. The project is currently in the land acquisition phase, with necessary procedural steps underway before the official announcement of the development.
