Follow Cyprus Investment Immigration and Life in Cyprus: Cyprus has a healthcare level that is above the European average and is recognized by the World Health Organization as reaching the level of developed countries. This is mainly due to the fact that most doctors have been trained abroad, particularly in the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States. In addition, not only do all major cities in Cyprus have public hospitals, but smaller public hospitals and clinics have also been established in other regions, along with some private hospitals and clinics run by physicians.
Public Hospitals
The healthcare costs in public hospitals are very low or even free, and the cost of personal health insurance is also quite low. Especially in emergencies and accidents, the expenses incurred can be guaranteed to be minimal. The per capita medical expenditure in Cyprus is approximately $1,109.4, with medical expenses accounting for only 3.23% of the per capita GDP.
Local Residents
The medical benefits for local residents come from private health insurance purchased by individuals, and they can also apply for government or private insurance.
Permanent Residents
Immigrants who obtain a permanent residence permit must purchase private health insurance themselves before the permanent residence permit is issued in order to enjoy the same free medical treatment as local residents. Full private health insurance can cover all expenses.
