OKYPY responds to allegations of denied care at Nicosia General Hospital

The Organization for Health Care Services (OKYPY) has responded to allegations regarding the management of a patient experiencing severe postoperative complications. OKYPY denied claims that Nicosia General Hospital refused care to the patient, who had undergone surgeries at a private clinic. According to the organization, doctors assessed the case and determined that continuing treatment with the original private medical team was the most appropriate and medically safe option for continuity of care.

OKYPY raised broader questions regarding whether private clinics performing specialized surgeries possess the necessary infrastructure and staffing to manage potential complications.

In response, DISY lawmaker Giorgos Pamboridis criticized OKYPY’s communication, arguing that the organization’s statement effectively confirmed the patient was never admitted to Nicosia General Hospital despite being transported to its emergency department twice. Pamboridis urged the organization to focus on its primary mission rather than its communication strategies.
