DISY MP Giorgos Pamporidis lodged a serious complaint regarding a private hospital’s refusal to admit a patient who had been transferred there with postoperative complications.
As he stated in a post on X, “The admissions department of a private hospital in Nicosia turned away a patient who was transported there with postoperative complications following a series of surgeries performed by a doctor at that very hospital, citing a lack of beds as the reason.”

The issue has been brought before the Hellenic Accreditation Organization (OAU), with Mr. Pamboridis having presented the evidence he has to the Organization, while the member of parliament is proceeding immediately to file a complaint regarding the incident with the Patient Ombudsman.
