People in Cyprus now pay more for important medicines. Many people are unhappy. The health system, Gesy, made changes. A group called Osak wants to talk. Osak wants to meet with the HIO and drug companies. They say the new prices are a big problem. This is hard for older people.
The problem is with medicine groups. This happened after old drug patents ended. Osak thinks patients must pay more. The cost of important medicines has gone up.
Osak thinks doctors might pick cheaper drugs. This is not always good for health. Some medicines for the same sickness cost more. Doctors should pick medicine for health, not price.
This is hard for old people and poor people. They have more money to spend on medicine. They might not buy their medicine. Osak thinks patients should not pay for patent changes.
People and doctors have complained. Osak is talking with the HIO. They want to help patients. Gesy needs to be clear about drug prices. Health care must be easy for all.
