A 17-year-old National Guard soldier who had been undergoing treatment in France since July 15 was returned to Cyprus. His health condition is assessed as stable.
It was previously reported that the young man may require a liver transplant, but this scenario was not confirmed. The young man has problems with his lungs and his further treatment will take place in Cyprus.
The patient arrived in Cyprus on 13 August at 17:00 by ambulance from Paul Brousse Hospital and was transferred to the Pulmonology Clinic of Nicosia General Hospital.
Secretary General of the Ministry of Health Christina Giannaki said: “The immediate action of the Ministry of Health to quickly transfer the conscript to an overseas center, combined with the treatment he received, played an important role in improving his health.”
The incident with the 17-year-old fighter occurred on July 12 after morning exercises. Having lost consciousness, he was immediately taken to the hospital, where doctors decided to transfer him to the intensive care unit. Three days later, on July 15, he was sent to Paris for treatment, from where he recently returned to Cyprus.
