ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE - THE MAN BEHIND THE DIAGNOSIS - THE MAJOR PROBLEMS AND THE 11 PILLARS OF PREVENTION - Filenews 27/9 by Marios Demetriou


An important dimension of dementia and Alzheimer's is that behind every diagnosis there is a person, but also a family that needs information, guidance and support, say the "Ithaca" Foundation and the Pancyprian Association of Alzheimer's and Related Dementias "Don't Forget Me", in their interventions to "F" on the occasion of World Alzheimer's Day, which is September 21 of each year.

The administrative officer of the "Ithaca" Foundation in Limassol, Maria Symeonidou, told us that according to data from the World Health Organization and the Dementia in Europe Yearbook, in Cyprus today there are about 17 thousand active cases of dementia, while there is a huge increasing trend for the coming years. He stressed that "these data highlight the need for early diagnosis, information, prevention and, above all, for structures that can offer substantial support, both to people living with dementia and to their families".

HIDDEN 4.1% RISE IN PUBLIC SECTOR STAFF COSTS IN 2027 - KNews 27/9 by Panayiotis Rougalas

The government is cutting civil service positions, but staffing expenditure continues to climb.

While the government is cutting civil service positions in an effort to contain the public-sector wage bill, the picture presented by staffing expenditure tells a different story.

Spending on public-sector staff and pensions appears set to rise by 4.1%, rather than the 1.2% suggested by an initial reading of the 2027 state budget submitted to Parliament two days ago.

TWO HURDLES REMAIN IN CYPRUS' PATH TO SCHENGEN  - KNews 27/9 by Pavlos Xanthoulis

Philippa Karsera visits Brussels and The Hague — We reveal the behind-the-scenes developments and what happened during the first formal Council discussion.


Two obstacles, linked to two of Cyprus’ “political specificities,” stand in the way of the island’s full accession to the Schengen area: the unresolved Cyprus problem and the presence of the British Bases.

Information obtained by Kathimerini indicates that the first issue concerns how the movement of people across the Green Line will be reflected in EU law. The second involves upgrading checks at the two crossing points within the British Bases to meet EU standards.
