Paphos General Hospital:Cardiology Department
Paphos General Hospital:Cardiology Department
As I haven't had one for a while, my GP has advised me to have a routine heart check up. This would be the first time I would be eligble for treatment at the General Hospital so I'm not sure who to go to. Could anyone recommend a Doctor please? Thanking you in advance.
Re: Paphos General Hospital:Cardiology Department
Dunno about Paphos, but Nicosia General requires 6-9 months for an appointment. Go private to a good cardiologist at a private hospital, it should cost ~€50 for a routine test with ECG, slightly more if other tests are needed.
Re: Paphos General Hospital:Cardiology Department
Alys.. has your GP given you letter of referral.. And as you say this would be your first time at the General, do you have a medical card, file folder, and a prescription book.?
To see a cardiologist you have to get an appointment.. On the date and time you have to register at the front registration desk, and then wait outside the cardiologists room to be called in. There is a list of patients and appointment times pinned up outside the consultants door..

I see Olvia Philippou, who I understand is the only cardiologist at Paphos general at the moment. Her English is limited as she is Greek, not Cypriot, but she is very good and has a good manner. Being the only one, appointments are way into the future, but you will get one eventually.
Re: Paphos General Hospital:Cardiology Department
This seems strange as both myself and a friend of mine see a lady cardiologist called Maria, who's English is Excellent ..

Re: Paphos General Hospital:Cardiology Department
Thanks for your quick replies. Trevnhil, I do have a letter of referral and a Cypriot Medical Card but not a file folder or prescription book. I think the best thing is to go up there and sort out an appointment first. It's funny, my neighbour mentioned Maria but couldn't remember her surname.
Re: Paphos General Hospital:Cardiology Department
If as you say you have a letter, and a medical card, I would go to the appointments window and see if they will give you the earliest date... Go into the Hospital entrance at the side of the open air Cafe.. The appointment office / window is down the corridor on the right and first right turn.. It is then just on the left hand corner. The Guy is best to see..
Then on the appointment day go to registration and pay 6 euros and get the sticky labels. It is at that time you need to ask for a file, and a prescription book.. Then you go to sit outside the consultants room and wait your turn.. The consultants rooms are opposite the appointments office..
