Stitches need taking out

Post by 2QuarterPints »

We arrive in Paphos next Monday, 6th Feb, and I had some stitches put in in my neck this morning after a minor procedure. The stitches have to come out next Thursday. We have never had to make use of the medical facilities in Cyprus so some pointers on what to do about getting the stitches removed would be appreciated greatly. Everywhere we go we see Medical Centres so, in a nutshell, do you just turn up at one of them and ask for the treatment you need?

Many thanks

Any medical centre will arrange for the removal of stitches. You will have to pay around €25.00 to €30
All things are possible

We have found you pretty much turn up explain what you need to a receptionist and then have whatever done. We have used Blue Cross and Evangelisimos ourselves...
