Question 1

Healthcare — GESY or private?

Accepted Answer

GESY is the national health system (contributions-based, covering residents including many expats). Most people also use private clinics and hospitals for speed and choice; English is universal in private care and Russian-speaking doctors are common in Limassol. We list English- and Russian-speaking practices and their GESY or private status.

Question 2

Where do I find an English- or Russian-speaking doctor or dentist?

Accepted Answer

They are widely available, especially English in Paphos and Russian in Limassol. Private consultations are quick and reasonably priced, and most GPs, dentists and specialists list their languages. We surface language and GESY/private status on each listing.

Question 3

What are the emergency numbers and where are the hospitals?

Accepted Answer

112 reaches police, ambulance and fire. Every city has an A&E, and pharmacies run a rotating all-night duty roster. Save your nearest hospital and a 24-hour pharmacy before you need them — we list both by town.
