Все о Кипре :: Medical services

Cyprus has a very high standard of medical services. Hospitals, private clinics and medical centres are equipped with the latest facilities. The latest technology and operating techniques are standard, with heart bypass surgery and kidney transplantation now routine in hospitals.

Many Cyprus doctors of various faculties jointly run polyclinics whose standard is comparable to other highly developed countries. High standards can also be judged by statistics which show that one in every 600 Cypriots is a qualified member of the medical profession.

Doctors and dentists, specialists and general practitioners, are available everywhere and their fees are quite low compared to European standards. Low cost international private medical insurance is available for non-Cypriot people living in Cyprus.

Private Health Care Insurance is relatively inexpensive and can be arranged through an Insurance company or through your Bank. Also the General Hospital offers Health Care to foreigners once you have become a permanent resident for a small annual fee. Pharmacists are very well informed and may save you a trip to the Doctor. Most pharmaceutical products in Cyprus can be bought directly over the counter.
