The Pancyprian Medical Association (PIS), in a statement, strongly condemns the threats against the life of the Director of the Pediatric Clinic of Makareio Hospital, Dr. Abraham Elias and expresses his full support to him, as well as to all doctors who receive threatening or abusive messages.
He notes that it is unacceptable for doctors to accept such threats because they serve the state and their science on the basis of documented data and contribute to ensuring public health and shielding the health of citizens, adults and children.
The Pancyprian Medical Association expresses its great concern and publicly denounces the targeting of scientists, the threats and aggressive behaviors that our members sometimes accept.
"This targeting and action of those who challenge scientific knowledge at every opportunity is a sad minority of people who show an anti-social attitude around what we are experiencing after the outbreak of the pandemic. Covid-19. "Extreme reactions that go as far as threatening a human life are not tolerated."
The PIS emphasizes that it will not allow any disrespect to the scientific dignity of doctors, which is deposited in practice and on a daily basis in clinics, clinics and hospitals, both public and private.
