Anastasiades – DISY Government’s goal the privatization of Public Health sector through its denigration
Statement by Stefanos Stephanou, AKEL C.C. Spokesperson
AKEL C.C. Press Office, 8th September 2016, Nicosia
No matter how much the government and ruling forces are trying to shift the grave responsibility for the poor state of the public health sector onto others, the truth is there for all to see, namely that the Anastasiades – DISY government with its policy is undermining public health on a daily basis.
One of many problems facing public health is that of the flight of doctors and nurses from the sector. The fact that the government cannot attract doctors to work in the public sector is due to the erroneous situation that exists in hospitals, the poor working conditions and shortcomings, whilst the problems are increasing.
Despite the various declarations and statements issued by the government and ruling forces they show no willingness to seriously tackle and address the problems faced by the public health sector. As a result of their policy and negligent attitude, they are undermining both the prospects for the reorganization and modernization of public hospitals and the implementation of the National Health Plan as this has been agreed by the social forces.
At the end of the day, is the hidden goal of the Anastasiades – DISY Government the privatization of Public Health sector through its denigration?
