Cyprus: Coronavirus positive woman refuses to be intubated

Doctors and nurses are facing a difficult case in a hospital, where a woman who is positive for the coronavirus refuses to be intubated in case her health condition worsens.

The case was published in the newspaper Phileleftheros. According to the facts, the patient, who does not have a history of vaccination, initially did not want to be treated and when her condition worsened at the urging of a relative, she went to the hospital for treatment. From the beginning he was in the hospital, he asked the doctors, even if necessary, not to intubate.

The state of health has deteriorated and doctors are in a big dilemma.

In his statements to the newspaper, the lawyer Christos Triantaphyllides said that only with the intervention of the Attorney General but also relatives can a court order be issued, to be intubated.

Speaking to SigmaLive, OKYPY spokesman Charalambos Charilaou said that although it is a human life, various legal issues arise which are handled by the legal department of the Organization.
