Paphos General Hospital is the Paphos district's main medical centre. With four stories and 25,000 square metres (270,000 sq ft) this pyramid shaped hospital is designed to offer to patients first aid to MRI Scans. When opened in 1992 it was considered one of the best medical centers in the Middle East.[citation needed] Nowadays this is not valid. The hospital was left to decline and it is currently unable to handle the rapidly growing population of Paphos. For minor expanding needs a few of the several atriums were transformed to interior spaces, but currently everybody is talking for an emergency expansion into land next to the facilities owned by the hospital. The hospital operates all the necessary departments. Within there is also a 200 seat auditorium, and there is a heliport right next to the emergency department.
