Cyprus has a big problem. Their hospitals do not have enough nurses. This is hard for private hospitals. The Health Minister, Neophytos Charalambidis, wants help. Private hospitals must find answers. They have only one week. The problem is serious and needs help now.
Cyprus has many doctors. There are more doctors than in the EU. But there are not enough nurses. The number of nurses is low. Cyprus needs more nurses.
More old people live in Cyprus. People live longer. Old people often get sick. This makes hospitals busier. Money for health is also higher.
Money for health is not used well. Cyprus spends little on long-term care. The EU spends much more. Also, little money is spent on stopping sickness.
A meeting will be in one month. They will see if the plan works. They will talk about new ideas. These ideas will help find nurses. They will also help stop sickness. More nurses are needed for the future.
