HEALTHCARE DELAYS ACROSS EUROPE - HOW DID CYPRUS COMPARE?

HEALTHCARE DELAYS ACROSS EUROPE - HOW DID CYPRUS COMPARE? - KNews 14/11

An EU study found that delays climbed more than 60% after the pandemic, while very few people in Cyprus reported going without care because of cost, distance or waiting lists.


Getting medical care became harder across Europe after the pandemic, with delays rising more than 60%, according to a study published Friday. In Cyprus, the figures tell a different story about who went without care. In 2023, just 0.1% of people reported missing out on treatment because of cost, distance or long waiting lists. Cost accounted for the entire reported share.

The Cyprus figures measure whether people went without care for those reasons. They leave room for a familiar experience: waiting for an appointment and eventually being seen. The study recorded 0% in Cyprus for unmet needs linked to waiting lists or distance in both 2022 and 2023. The share linked to cost fell from 0.2% to 0.1%.

POLICE FROM 12 EU COUNTRIES TRAIN IN CYPRUS TO TRACK MIGRANT SMUGGLERS - KNews 14/11

The three-day course in Nicosia used real cases to show how police can follow online clues and trace payments across borders.


When police in Cyprus investigate a migrant smuggling case, the people who organized the journey or collected the money may be in another country. That was the challenge at the heart of a three-day training course in Nicosia this week, where participants from 12 EU countries looked at how to find the people behind those journeys.

Using real cases and hands-on exercises, participants examined how smugglers use online tools and digital currencies, such as cryptocurrency. They also shared ways to identify suspects and follow evidence when it leads beyond their own borders, Cyprus Police said.

MPs BACK NEW PARLIAMENT BUILDING AMID MOUNTING REPAIR BILLS -Cy Mail 13/11 by James Morphakis


MPs from all parties on the House finance committee agreed on Friday that a new building for parliament is “urgently needed”, saying the current premises are outdated.

The House’s deputy permanent secretary, Andreas Christodoulou, told the committee that “€200,000 was spent on repairs last year alone” and that “health and safety issues will continue to balloon”.

While next year’s parliamentary budget includes €30,000 to update the architectural plans, Christodoulou said a new building was a political decision.

$1 AND THE CHILD WHO CHANGED MEDICINE - THE SHOCKING STORY BEHIND THE DISCOVERY OF INSULIN - Filenews 14/11


November 14 was not chosen as World Diabetes Day by chance.

It is the day that Frederick Banting was born, in 1891, one of the scientists responsible for the discovery of insulin, a treatment that changed the history of medicine and saved millions of human lives.

A century ago, the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus was almost equivalent to a death sentence. Doctors did not have effective treatment at their disposal, and patients, even young children, gradually lost the battle for life.
