Family calls on health ministry to send injured officer to Israel for treatment
The family of an injured national guard non-commissioned officer has requested the health ministry send him to a hospital in Israel for his treatment.
The man, 54, is currently in the intensive care unit at Nicosia General, after he sustained injuries, while working on a vehicle at the airbase in Paphos last week.
According to the Cyprus news agency, the family has sent a letter to permanent secretary of the health ministry Christina Yiannaki, to have him transferred to Israel for more specialised treatment.
The national guard is still investigating the cause of the accident.
