For several years now, Cyprus’ physical splendour and exquisite climate have amassed throngs of ardent admirers throughout the year. Still, recently Cyprus has also gained a reputation as a prime excellent healthcare destination, both for its private and public clinics and hospitals.

State general hospitals can be found in all major cities, including a wide net of smaller healthcare institutions, such as clinics and dispensaries. The momentum gained by the private health sector during the last decade has attracted world-renowned doctors of various fields, who have further augmented the island’s repute.

Cypriots are all fluent English speakers, including older people. The reason behind this is multifaceted. First of all, Cyprus has been for years under English occupation, thus forcing locals to learn the language to deal with local public administration. Next, the island has an excellent education system, and English is taught from early on. Last, most doctors and health care professionals have concluded their post-graduate studies abroad, mainly in English-speaking countries.

4. Price Is an Important Factor

Cyprus hits the nail on the head once again. Its average medical expenses are much lower than the corresponding rates in most European countries with respectable healthcare systems. Simply put, Cyprus’ ratio of value for money regarding health treatment is among the best in the world.

5. Post-Treatment Recuperation

As you would have thought, Cyprus boasts an equally impressive reputation for its post-operative patient care.
