Coronavirus: Outpatient clinics at Paphos hospital to reopen on Monday

[Paphos Life]

A plan has been set in motion for the reopening of the Paphos general hospital’s outpatient clinics on April 27, hospital director Joseph Moutiris said on Friday.

On Thursday, Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou said that, under a new decree coming into force on Monday, both public and private hospitals, which to date have been treating emergencies only, will be allowed to make appointments for patients.

This would be followed with a new decree a few days later, allowing hospitals to carry out previously scheduled surgeries.

As far as the Paphos hospital is concerned, Moutiris said doctors and nurses working there have been preparing since mid-March when, due to a cluster of coronavirus cases detected, more than half of the people working there were ordered to stay at home for an indeterminate amount of time.

Speaking as someone cast adrift with a broken ankle from the orthopaedic out patients clinic at the General Hospital, , by the onset of the coved problem, I was fortunate enough to be picked up by the Orthopaedic specialist at Blue Cross under the Gesy scheme with private health care.

To be frank, the quality of the care far outclassed the outpatient clinic at the GH, and so for as long as Gesy permits, I’ll take my ankle “elsewhere” thank you

BlueCross found 3 broken bones in my foot which the Orthopaedic Clinic” couldn’t see” and were treating asa “sprain”
