The state health services organisation (Okypy) has pledged to include new nursing positions in its 2026 budget, Pasydy said on Wednesday.
The new posts will cover both general nursing and mental‑health nursing. According to Pasydy, the positions will replace nurses who retired in 2025 and those expected to retire in 2026.
They will also help remedy gaps caused by long‑term sick leave, maternity leave or staff resignations.
