About

Dr Kyriakos Stylianides has been practicing palliative care in Cyprus since 2006. His main goal was to make palliative care available for all the patients that they needed it all over Cyprus. He played an important role in establishing a legislation for palliative care in the island. After a lot of effort and many debates he convinced the Ministry of health that palliative care should be part of the national health system and it should be offered to adults and children from the beginning of their diagnosis.
