Effective January 1, 2027, the Outpatient Clinics of the Cardiology Department at Nicosia General Hospital, operated by the State Health Services Organization (OKYPY), will operate as Specialized Clinics, with the aim of better managing difficult and complex cardiological cases through a specialized team of cardiologists, including interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and cardiovascular imaging specialists.
The Clinic is the largest cardiology clinic in Cyprus and features comprehensive facilities, including cardiology wards, a Cardiology Intensive Care Unit for the management of acute and severe cases, a state-of-the-art Hemodynamic Catheterization Lab operating 24 hours a day, as well as a Non-Invasive Cardiology Lab, certified by the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI), which performs the largest volume of diagnostic studies in Cyprus.

The goal of reorganizing the outpatient clinics of the Cardiology Department is not to compete with private-practice cardiologists. The goal is to collaborate with and support them whenever and wherever the infrastructure and expertise of our clinic are needed, for the benefit of patients. The new organizational structure ensures that every patient is referred to the appropriate specialist and the corresponding team, in order to achieve the best possible outcome in accordance with current scientific evidence.
