Unlicensed Plasmapheresis Centre in Larnaca Suspended by Health Ministry
What happened
Members of the House health committee questioned officials regarding the policing of plasmapheresis. A centre in Larnaca was found to be running six machines without an operating license, and the doctors in charge lacked the required medical specialties. Following an on-site inspection, the Health Ministry ordered an immediate suspension, and the facility later stopped operating voluntarily.

Why it matters
The incident revealed that the facility was not subject to the regular inspections applied to licensed private hospitals. The Health Ministry stated that such medical treatment should belong solely within a hospital setting.
