Paphos Life

OUCH !!!

Around 8 months ago my wife was given a prescription by the Fiti Village doctor for a new Diabetic meter.
The Fiti pharmacist didn't have them so my wife got her prescribed one from the General Hospital complete with glucose strips..

I have been through the same course here in Cyprus..

You have to use the Boy Scout Motto... Be Prepared... for anything

But there did not seem to be this general lack of availability Last Month, when items were 50 cents from the General Pharmacy

It took me a little while as well.

The driving licence post was a Question...
The traffic offences post was a statement..

Prescriptions are still available if you still use the old system with your medical card.. I got some diabetic strips there last Wednesday. But, as far as I know if...

Oil prices have come Down in recent weeks hence the drop in Petrol and Diesel fuel prices..

I have seen nothing about people not being eligible after August 31st if they do not have an MEU3
Are you saying an MEU1 is not valid now ?

We did provide our most recent address when we asked for New S1 forms to be sent...
However my Gesy application has gone through OK without any S1 form..

I understand that it is the choice of the pharmacy as to whether to join the Gesy system, or not.. Hopefully in time all of them will join up.. I have also read that some Phamacies have a sign showing they are members of the system.. It interests me as to how the consultants at the General Hospital ...
