Doctors, clinics and hospitals abound in Cyprus and its large expat-friendly municipalities. There is a choice between public and private healthcare institutions, both of which are of similar quality and complement each other.
The Allianz Worldwide Care homepage offers a comprehensive search engine for medical services in Cyprus, which gives you the opportunity to search by region and provider (hospitals or doctors).
Emergency care will be also free to both expats and citizens, but you may have to pay a small fee for in-patient care. If you are an employee, you will need to be paying into the system in order to benefit from it.
Short-term visitors from EU countries who have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) can also lay claim to free essential care during their stay. Note that the EHIC does not cover repatriation, routine examination and treatment in private institutions.
Under the National Health Insurance System (NHIS) of Cyprus, basic healthcare services in public clinics are free of charge or offered for low fees to selected groups of Cypriot citizens and EU nationals with permanent residence status. They are entitled to these services if their annual income does not exceed a certain limit. For further information, please contact the Ministry of Health. If you are not an EU member, you should look into buying international health insurance with coverage in Cyprus or consult one of the local insurance companies on the island to avoid high bills.
If you are from an EU member state, your EHIC card will entitle you to treatment, but it is not intended as a substitute for comprehensive health insurance. You will not be able to use your EHIC in the Turkish part of the island.
