OSAK Calls for Proper Staffing of Healthcare Facilities

The Cyprus Federation of Patient Associations (OSAK) expresses its readiness to support any effort to solve the problem of nursing staff shortages in the healthcare sector, emphasizing the priority of patient safety and the quality of services provided. OSAK states that the lack of nurses affects the functioning of the healthcare system and hinders the implementation of new legislation. It calls for the proper staffing of all healthcare facilities, the amendment of relevant legislation to address the staff shortage, and the consideration of employing nurses from abroad with strict criteria.
