We have taken all the documentation to our preferred doctor and they are doing the registration process.
But they have let me know that the system will not allow me in....... at the moment.

I registered with my GP last week. All I needed was my MEU3, nothing else at all. No passport, no medicsl card, no nothing, just my MEU3. Took 5 minutes at the most.

This is the easiest category to register with GESY as all the information is on the one Yellow Slip MEU3.

With the other categories you have to submit either proof of Social Insurance payments or E121/S1 form. Some people with S1 status have successfully registered by submitting/showing their Cyprus Medical Card.

Evangelismos Hospital has two sessions arranged next week for people to ask questions and you can then go ahead and register with one of their doctors if you wish. Friday 17 May and Saturday 18 May from 9am - noon in the Evangelismos Hospital cafeteria area and Extension Building. Tel: 26848000 to book your place as accommodation is limited.

Re... " With the other categories you have to submit either proof of Social Insurance payments or E121/S1 form. Some people with S1 status have successfully registered by submitting/showing their Cyprus Medical Card. "

This is one part that I cannot understand.. Lots of people, including myself and my wife do not (at the moment) have a copy of our S1 or e121
But we DO have a valid medical card which would only have been given to us when we presented the S1 or e121 to the Cyprus authorities ..

They themselves should have a record of what we presented to get the medical card..

Trev,
You are making a big assumption that all parts of the Health service are joined up, when it is obvious they are not.

I was making an assumption that they were all run by the government.. ;-)

Trev,
This is not something to argue about. Logically you are correct. Practically ......not so sure.

Having said all that and before it seems that when one sets up one's individual applications to be enrolled there is a point when you put in the certificate number of your ARC (MEU! or MEU3) together with your name. So the powers that be in the Health Service are accessing details from the Immigration Service before allowing to proceed with the enrolment procedure. So, taking on board what Trev is posting, why can the Health Service access all information from within their own Service and those of other departments.

You are allowed to register with one doctor only and you can change the doctor after a 6month period if you are not happy or for any other reason. I think you are going to end up in a mess with multiple applications!

David Brown. I give up on you. The forms are signed there and then otherwise you are NOT Registered. Please do not bother replying.

It will be interesting to see what happens on opening day on the 3rd of June ;-)

Will the reception windows be closed at the hospital.. ?

Will prescription books not be accepted at the Hospital Pharmacy...?

I assume the 'stamp' window will still be open for blood test forms..

Or will they do what regularly happens with car tax and declare that there will be an extension to the dates..

I agree Trev, it is far from operational and even GPs do not have the answers as yet, or how many Pharmacies are in the system, again doctors do not have the answer either. Looks to be a bit messy come the opening day.

I have a heart scan booked at the general last week in May and hope to pick up three months supply of medication from their pharmacy so hoping everything there is still on the old system until June the first. We will see ??

The last week of May (this month) should be fine..
Both my wife and I have blood tests at the end of the month..
Mine should go to the consultant I am booked in with.. But my wife's would usually go to the 'village Doctor' who has surgeries at different villages on different days..
But that is not the doctor that we have chosen in our Gesy applications... But both applications are still 'pending' ????

The announcement of the delay in starting the system might be good news to some .

“As a result, a transitional period lasting until the end of August was
announced on Monday, extending the operation of existing pharmacies in
hospitals and outpatient clinics. “
