New paediatric surgery unit completed at Makarios hospital
Okypy announced the completion of a new paediatric surgery department at Makarios hospital, part of a wider modernisation programme that also covers neonatal and children's intensive care units.
The new paediatric surgery department at Makarios hospital has been completed, the state health services (Okypy) announced on Thursday, as reported by Cyprus Mail.
According to Okypy, further works are still under way, covering improvements to the neonatal intensive care unit, the children's intensive care unit, the maternity and paediatric wards, and the thalassemia centre.
The organisation said these projects form part of a broader effort to modernise hospital infrastructure and improve conditions of care.
Okypy added that the upgrades are designed to meet the needs of children and their families, while improving their daily experience and the quality of care provided.
What it means for residents
The works at Makarios hospital touch on services that families across Cyprus rely on, from maternity care to treatment for children and thalassemia patients. For now the practical effect is gradual: completed and upgraded departments should mean better facilities and conditions for those admitted, while ongoing construction may temporarily affect access and routines at the hospital.
- Families using the hospital should expect continued building activity and possible changes to ward locations or entrances while works proceed.
- Referrals and appointments for paediatric, neonatal or thalassemia care are worth confirming with the hospital in advance.
- Longer term, the modernised units should improve the experience of children and their families during stays.
