Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis on Thursday dismissed rumours that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (KEELPNO) would shut down due to lack of funds.

Asked to comment on relevant reports, he said: “The Health ministry, in coordination with the Finance ministry, has immediately proceeded with the solution of all the problems that had arisen regarding the financing of the Center.”

The Minister added that, given that KEELPNO’s financial issues are resolved, “the operation of the center is in no danger”.
