The Cyprus Green Party Member of Parliament Mr. George Perdikes met last Tuesday with the President of the House of Representatives Mr. Marios Karogian, as he was accompanying the President of the Patients and Friends’ NGO movement of the Nicosia General Hospital Oncology Department (EL.A-ZO).
Mr. Perdikes asked that the Parliament insist on last Thursday’s plenum decision, which requested that the government adopts and directly applies the strategic plan for fighting cancer, which has been on the table of the Ministerial Council since January 2008.
It’s truly criminal to have cancer patients being disregarded from the state and the government. It’s absolutely outrageous to have waiting lists for radiotherapy due to the lack of the necessary linear accelerators and the lack of maintenance of the state hospitals’ radiotherapy machines.
The government ought to assume its responsibilities, and it is the Parliament’s responsibility to insist on this.
