Re: Visiting longer term patients in Paphos General

Unfortunately a near neighbour passed away and was sent to the General, they lost his body and the lady living with him had to call the police to find him, they did thankfully.

Re: Lasik laser eye surgery

Depends on age and or membership of GESY. I just had Laser surgery and it cost me €12 (GESY) but paying privately then you would have to ask the Ophthalmic Surgeon.

good luck.
