Re: Cardiologist recommendations

Very happy with Drs Evros and Nicoleta Loizides, 7 Agia Lavras Street, 8047, Paphos over the past 16+ years. Even though it has been necessary on occasion to see other cardiologists we have preferred to see them in the private sector and more recently through GESY (last visit October 2020). Their Di...

Re: Extra charge to receive money from a UK bank account?

Just been doing some more checking:

Currency Fair has its HQ in Dublin so they are also an EU country and would not be affected.

However, Currency Solutions which is another popular method of transferring funds is in London.

Re: S1 Form holder in Cyprus - EHIC still valid.

Are you referring to the Cyprus Medical Card which is (usually) valid for 5 years? Ours are renewed even though we have E121 forms which have been superseded by the S1 form. People have been renewing them at the CSC but perhaps worth an email (info@gesy.org.cy) or phone call (Tel 17000) to GESY to f...

Re: Medical records

Are we permitted to collect the old records from the relevant hospital / clinic ? We have all our paper records from Paphos General Hospital - in fact years ago patients were advised to keep them. Prior to GESY we sometimes used private hospitals so we also have their records of diagnoses and tests.

One person said it was where she had her fl...
