Health Care

Northern Cyprus has a public healthcare system which is available to all those who have social security insurance, and their partners and children. Use of the accident and emergency departments is free to anyone. 2023 patients were sent for treatment in Turkey at public expense in 2010, 22% for cardiovascular disease and 16% for cancer treatment. There are also private hospitals and private polyclinics and it is possible for people to get treatment in the Republic of Cyprus.[2]
