The further deepening of the cooperation between Cyprus and Greece was discussed Thursday during a meeting Health Minister Michalis Hadjipantela had in Athens with his Greek counterpart Thanos Plevris.
A press release says that during the meeting the two men discussed the possibility of addition of Cypriot patients in the National Register of potential organ recipients for heart, lung and liver transplants.
For the implementation of this agreement, a cooperation memorandum will be signed within the next months between the two sides, the press release says.
The Minister of Health also held a meeting with the President of the National Public Health Organization Theoklis Zaoutis.
They assessed the actions taken so far in the context of the deepening of the two-year bilateral cooperation memorandum signed in matters of surveillance and control of infectious diseases, with particular emphasis on antimicrobial resistance and hospital-acquired infections.
