The government approved plans on Wednesday for the opening of a national office of the World Health Organisation in Cyprus.
The bill will now be submitted to the House of Representatives, which will deliberate the office’s funding, staffing and activation.
Priorities regarding technical support from the office have already been set, including dealing with potential future health crises, ensuring the sustainability of Gesy, and drafting a national strategy for mental health, with action plans being prepared for all three and more.
