Shameful conditions at Troodos hospital

The conditions at Kyperounda hospital in Troodos are utterly disgraceful, with wards lacking bathrooms, the House health committee heard amid promises for improvement.

Wards intended for tuberculosis patients do not have windows or ventilation, the hospital’s director Marinos Lemesios told MPs during Thursday’s committee session.

“The conditions at Kyperounda hospital in some cases are filthy. Every day when I go back home, I feel shame.”

Inpatient wards have no toilets and showers, he shared.
