[01] President praises upgrade of cardiology
President Demetris Christofias has praised the medical advances in
cardiology in Cyprus, saying that less Cypriots are now sent abroad
for treatment. He noted that through excellent cooperation between
the private and the public sector in the field of interventional and
non-interventional cardiology, the number of patients who have been sent
overseas for treatment has significantly decreased.
Addressing the opening ceremony of the 23rd International Meeting
“Cardiology Today”, held in Limassol, President Christofias said
cardiology meetings organized by the Cardiology Company of Cyprus are
an important milestone in the medical field both in Cyprus and overseas.
He praised the high scientific level of the meeting with the participation
of renowned cardiologists from Europe and the US. Cardiology in recent
years has advanced in both the secondary and post-secondary levels
and technological approaches and techniques have helped upgrade its
effectiveness, President Christofias remarked.
Cyprus, he said, responded favorably to this call and through “an
excellent cooperation between the private and public sector, we have
managed to offer the Cypriot patient a complete spectrum of services in
invasive and non-invasive/interventional cardiology. We have significantly
reduced the number of heart cases sent overseas for treatment”.
