New obstacles are emerging in the expansion of the Larnaca General Hospital. According to the Minister of Health, he was informed yesterday by the Ministry of Transport that there will be another delay.
"The suggestion from other Services is as if the contract is terminated and re-announced for the rest. ”
Despite the fact that, according to him, that in a meeting last year with the contractor and the KEAA, it was agreed to give 5 million euros to the contractor to help the cash flow by giving specific commitments, however, he did not keep them. For this reason, the Ministry of Health is immediately proceeding with the procedures to complete the Surgical Wing at the Famagusta Hospital with a capacity of 20 beds.
"Which to some extent will alleviate the problem that currently exists in the Larnaca and Famagusta Provinces."
Project expected to be completed, early 2020.
