Cyprus Health Tourism Council President Dr. Ahmet Savaşan, in his message published on the occasion of March 14th Medical Day, pointed out that in addition to the passage of the General Health Insurance and the Patient Rights Law, there is a great need for the regulation of workplace medicine.
Ahmet Savaşan pointed out that Suleiman the Magnificent's quote “There is no object in the world like the state, no state in the world like a breath of health” best expresses the “value” of health, and emphasized that health workers show how important it is to protect this “value”.
The people of the country and health workers are still facing major problems...
Ahmet Savaşan stated that the most important responsibility for the uninterrupted, effective and quality delivery of health services to the people of the country falls on the state and the duty falls on physicians and health workers, underlining that the people of the country, physicians and health workers have been experiencing great problems due to the chronic problems of the health system for years, “there is more work to be done so that our people can choose hospitals and physicians and receive uninterrupted quality health services”.
Our people want a state that fulfills its responsibilities...
Underlining that the passage of the General Health Insurance and the Patient Rights Law and the workplace medicine regulation should not be delayed any further, Ahmet Savaşan said, “Our people want to see a state that fulfills its responsibilities, as well as well-educated physicians and health workers who produce services under the best working conditions, who are satisfied with the services they produce, who respect their patients and who can look to the future with hope.”.
Our healthcare professionals added breath to breath and lives to lives during the pandemic...
On March 14th Medical Day, which we celebrate on the first year of the Covid-19 outbreak, Ahmet Savaşan pointed out that the greatest heroes of the fight against the pandemic are all healthcare professionals, especially physicians and nurses, and that it should not be forgotten that thanks to the superhuman efforts of our healthcare professionals in this struggle, hope has been added to hope, breath to breath, and life to life. “We would like to thank all our physicians, nurses and healthcare professionals for their extraordinary perseverance during the pandemic period, risking their own lives,” he said.
We remember Dr. Küçük with gratitude on this important day of his birth
At the end of his message, Savaşan said, “While commemorating our pioneering Leader Dr. Fazıl Küçük, who has a different and indelible place in our hearts with his medicine, populism, determination to struggle and devotion, on this important day, I commemorate with gratitude the health professionals who lost their lives in the line of duty or left us for other reasons, and I sincerely celebrate the 14th of March Medical Day, wishing health and peace to those who retired and those who continue to serve.”.
