They risk the lives of children with cancer when doctors warn of the danger!

Parents of children with haematological and oncological conditions are concerned about the construction works planned at Makareio Hospital. They argue that building near clinics treating immunocompromised patients can be extremely dangerous. The Cyprus Pediatric Society warns of the risks, specifically mentioning the potential increase in hospital fungal infections, such as aspergillosis. Despite opposition from parents and medical professionals, the Health Insurance Organisation (HIO) has suggested relocating the Pediatric Oncology Clinic temporarily to another part of the hospital, which is not seen as a suitable solution. The decision to upgrade Makareio Hospital instead of building a new, modern hospital has been made without consulting those directly involved, raising concerns about the safety and health of the children undergoing treatment. The focus should be on prioritizing the health and well-being of these vulnerable patients.
