HEALTH CARE
Along with the growth in other sectors, medical facilities have improved greatly in Northern Cyprus. The modernisation of hospitals is a slow but gradual process. Impressive modern technology from both Europe and America is reaching the T.R.N.C. (Turkish Republic Northern Cyprus). However, even with these positive steps there is still a precautionary approach to medical insurance, with many people acquiring private health insurance from international sources.
Hospitals are situated in Nicosia, Famagusta and Kyrenia. There are many private doctors’ surgeries in these areas of North Cyprus as well. The main hospital that handles the bulk of cases is located in Northern Cyprus Nicosia.
Dental Treatment: is of a high standard in North Cyprus, as many dentists are trained in either the UK or America. Ask for the scale of charges first, though.
Eye Tests: Professional eye tests are available locally. Spectacles are 1/3 of the price in the UK. Contact lenses are generally more expensive. However, please note that they do not perform eye tests at most local North Cyprus shops. As a result you have to get your prescription before going to the store to make your classes.
Pharmacies: There are also many pharmacies in each of the districts and cities of Northern Cyprus. In said hospitals you will find most medicines from abroad. Also for you convince there are on call pharmacies for your after hour pharmaceutical needs. There are also on call pharmacies that work during the holidays of Northern Cyprus. Please take note of said holidays and plan accordingly.
