Health & Personal Protection
Health Insurance
Private health insurance complements your options for medical care in Cyprus, offering additional flexibility and choice.
What is it?
More options for your health, when you need them most.
Private health insurance is more than cover for a hospital stay. It is the ability to have created, in advance, more options for your own medical care and that of your family, so that when a serious or unexpected health issue arises, you are able to consider a wider range of treatment possibilities.
Depending on the insurance plan and the level of cover selected, it may cover private hospitalisation and day-care treatment costs, physician, surgeon and anaesthetist fees, surgical procedures, diagnostic tests, physiotherapy and advanced imaging such as MRI, CT and PET scans. Available options may also include out-patient care, doctor visits, oncology treatment and other specialised or advanced therapies, always subject to the terms and level of the chosen plan.
Your protection does not have to stop at the borders of Cyprus
One of the most significant advantages private health insurance can offer is access — depending on the plan and its geographical area of cover — not only to private hospitals and medical services in Cyprus, but also to hospitals, clinics and specialised medical centres abroad.
Available options may include international or even worldwide geographical cover. This can become particularly important when a serious diagnosis or a complex medical case creates the need to consider treatment options outside Cyprus as well.
The value, therefore, does not lie only in which costs may be covered. It also lies in having a broader framework of choices as to where you seek care, which treatment path you consider, and what possibilities may exist beyond Cyprus.
And when it comes to your family, those options matter even more
For a parent, private health insurance is not only about their own protection. It is also about having made provision for their children's health.
When a child needs medical care — and especially when it is something serious — what every parent wants is to be able to review the available options and seek the appropriate treatment. The moment a serious health problem appears is not the moment you want to start wondering which options you could have secured earlier.
That is why private health insurance can be an important family-planning decision: protection not only for one person, but for that person, their partner and their children.
Because in health, the true value of insurance is not visible when everything is going well. It becomes visible the moment you need options — and want them to be there.
Benefits, cover limits, geographical areas, conditions, waiting periods and exclusions differ by insurance plan and level of cover.
Who is it for?
It is relevant for individuals and families who want more control over their care options, frequent travelers who need coverage abroad, and those who want to ensure immediate access to specific doctors or clinics.

Why private health insurance when GESY exists?
GESY is an important part of healthcare in Cyprus. Private health insurance, however, can work alongside it, considerably broadening your options when a serious or unexpected health issue arises.
Depending on the insurance plan, it may offer access to private hospitals and medical services in Cyprus, greater freedom in choosing doctors and providers, as well as the possibility of diagnosis or treatment abroad.
Available options may include international or even worldwide geographical cover, access to specialised medical centres, and different care options according to the insured person's needs.
In a difficult moment, the value of private health insurance lies not only in what it covers, but also in the options it may give you as to where, how and from whom you receive the care you need.
Because in health, having a choice can be just as important as the cover itself.
When might you need it?
You want to access private hospitals and doctors of your choice without delays.
Your family is growing and you want comprehensive coverage for your children.
You travel abroad frequently for work or leisure and need medical protection outside Cyprus.
You wish to have the option for specialized treatments that might not be fully covered by other sources.
These are illustrative circumstances, not a description of policy terms, conditions or exclusions.
Why review this cover?
Health needs change with age and life circumstances. A regular review ensures that the level of cover remains adequate, that benefits match your current medical needs, and that you know exactly how to use your policy when the need arises.
