Healthcare in Limassol

GESY, private clinics, hospitals and what residents need to register.

GESY

Cyprus's national health system covers residents who contribute, giving access to a personal doctor, specialists and hospital care at low co-payments. Registration is straightforward once you hold a residence permit and a social insurance number.

Private care

Limassol has a dense private sector, and many residents run private insurance alongside GESY for speed and choice. English is widely spoken in both systems.
