Adonis Georgiadis announces stricter framework for alternative therapies
Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, has announced the government's intention to establish a new, stricter framework for alternative therapies in our country. The goal of this initiative is to protect patients from practices that are not based on scientific evidence.
A central point of the Minister's announcements is the complete ban on misleading advertisements that promote alternative methods as substitutes for medical science. Mr. Georgiadis emphasized that citizens must be protected from promises that could put their health at risk.
During his statements, the Minister criticized public figures, including MP Pavlos Polakis and Maria Karystianou, expressing his disagreement with their positions regarding the management of health issues and their public statements.
The Ministry of Health is expected to present the full text of the bill, which will define the new operating rules, soon. This move is part of a broader effort to strengthen citizens' trust in the national health system and scientific medicine.
