The charity Gkol sti Zoi («Γκολ στη Ζωή») is contributing €280,000 towards the renovation of the paediatric wards at Makarios Hospital. Its contribution also includes studies and tender documents valued at €64,000.
Health Minister Neofytos Charalambides presented the plans on 12 November 2026. December 2026 is the target period for Paediatric Ward 1, while work on Paediatric Ward 2 is planned from January to March 2027.
SHSO prepared the design after four years of discussions with doctors, nurses and clinic staff. The layout, sanitary facilities, lighting and decoration were considered in relation to children’s care and the wards’ daily operation.
The minister also highlighted the needs of parents staying beside their children: the time spent in hospital, the opportunity to rest and their role in everyday care. He gave similar emphasis to facilities that support staff in carrying out their work safely.
