Archbishop ‘improving’ in Athens

ARCHBISHOP Chrysostomos, who was flown by air ambulance to a specialised hospital in Athens for treatment a week ago, is showing signs of improvement, doctors in Greece said yesterday.

The Director of Evangelismos Intensive Care Unit, Apostolos Armaganides, said that with the aid of his doctors Chrysostomos stood up yesterday and took a few steps. Greek and Cypriot Health Ministers Alecos Papadopoulos and Frixos Savvides, visited Chrysostomos yesterday morning. The Archbishop sustained a head injury in late April after a fall on the stairs of the Archbishopric in Nicosia.

 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
