The knot has reached the scallop and is a cold reality, say the nurses of the Pancyprian Nurses Guild (PASYNO), emitting a cry of agony in their open letter to the Minister of Health.
"It's time to put the knife deep. It is time for those who are really responsible to take responsibility. It is time to act yesterday and not tomorrow. Yes, we really care about the future of the Cypriot people, we do not panic and we do not expect fake news to spread. "We are sounding the alarm, realizing the seriousness of the situation", the nurses emphasize to the Minister of Health.
We are obliged to address you, this time in public, they say, so that all the people know what is happening today in public hospitals and what is the real situation with the management of COVID - 19.
"We have to turn to you, because there really is no other way. It does not go any further, it can not stand, the knot has reached the scallop. "And it is not just an attack we say to each other, to vent our anger and rage, but a cold reality", it is noted.
Most of the administrations of the hospitals and the OKYPY, the nurses claim, "do not have the ability and the adequacy" to manage any big and critical issues that this unprecedented virus brings with it.
Addressing the Minister directly, the nurses state that "all of us who live in this situation every day, are obliged to ensure the health system and the health of the Cypriot people" and further claim that "today here in the Cypriot hospitals, everyone does what and as he wants, there is no appropriate and appropriate communication between us, the instructions and protocols are not observed ".
PASYNO further states that it is obliged to address the Minister of Justice in public "because we recognize your sensitivities and realize that you are fighting for the best management of this crisis - we have always had a good relationship with you and we are sure that this time you will hear our cry , our anxiety, our worries ".
"We are forced to turn to you because we see, hear and feel that soon, it has already begun to appear, nurses will charge us with their responsibilities for their mistakes, omissions and irresponsible behaviors. "This time, as we have proven for years, we will not tolerate it," he added.
Nurses report that the virus is spreading dangerously, the spread is great in hospitals and the big victims are none other than themselves - front-line people fighting an "invisible" enemy and at the same time a "sick" health management system. us.
"We are here every day and we are ready to make specific complaints about everything that happens in the health facilities. We are ready to provide data to restore the feeling of trust and security, to protect every nurse, every nurse, every health professional who fights without clear instructions, without following the protocols. Wrong instructions, alalum instructions, half instructions, directionless instructions. "By boat only hope", it is added.
Nurses say that the burden and responsibility are unbearable because they fight, as they note, without guidance, even for the essentials while they have lost confidence in all those who manage them.
"There is a lot of insecurity in the hospitals, a big panic among the staff. Who does not know where and how he will be hit. The instructions given for grouping are not followed, the spread of the virus holds well. Yes, our administrations are inadequate. Responsibilities must be taken before it is too late. To take responsibility for decisions and actions that are taken or mainly omitted ", it is added.
Leaders, continues the open letter of the nurses to the Minister of Health, are always people who should inspire and guide and not load their own deficits and their own omissions on others.
"And we have no leaders, no leadership, no people to inspire and encourage us. The feeling of security has been shaken by the staff towards OKYPY and the administrations of the hospitals. We convey the concerns of our members, who are upset. "Because we see the inadequacy of the administrations in terms of coordination, the incomplete implementation of the circulars, instructions and protocols", it is added.
