AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoHousehold Health: Around one in ten Cyprus households faces energy poverty, the energy minister says, with a target to reduce it by 10% by 2030. The shortfall can leave people unable to afford essential heating and cooling. Tobacco Control: An EU tax proposal could eventually lift cigarette prices in Cyprus to €6–€6.50 a pack, but ministers failed to reach agreement, so there is no immediate change. Cancer Research: London-based Neobe raised $6.8 million to develop engineered bacteria that could help cancer drugs reach solid tumours; University of Cyprus researchers contributed to earlier studies of the approach. Health Services: Cyprus is considering a dedicated air ambulance, while specialised cardiology clinics are due to open at Nicosia General Hospital in January. Ministers have also approved a national blood strategy as supplies improve, though donations are still needed. Health Funding: The health budget is set to rise to €1.4 billion amid concerns over Gesy.
