Call 112 for a medical emergency

For emergency medical assistance, call 112. Give your location clearly: district, street, building, floor and a nearby landmark. Follow the dispatcher’s instructions before ending the call. This guide does not diagnose or treat conditions; do not delay an emergency call to research online.

Appointments through 1101

Public hospital appointment options include 1101, an in-person request and the Ministry’s online appointment services. Published 1101 hours are Monday–Friday 08:00–17:00 and Saturday 08:00–14:00. Identify the hospital and specialty you need before calling.

Choosing a facility in Nicosia or Kyrenia

The Ministry directory includes Dr. Burhan Nalbantoğlu State Hospital and the Emergency Hospital in Nicosia, plus Girne Dr. Akçiçek State Hospital. Distinguish facilities in the same city; confirm the full institution name, entrance and actual service location when booking.

Famagusta and western district contacts

Gazimağusa State Hospital is on Salamis Road; its switchboard is +90 392 630 89 00. Cengiz Topel Hospital is on Ecevit Avenue in Yeşilyurt; switchboard +90 392 723 63 51. These are institutional contact numbers; use 112 to request an emergency ambulance.

Preparing for a visit

Bring identification or a passport, appointment details, a list of medicines and any previous reports. Ask the institution separately about insurance coverage and charges. The presence of a public hospital does not mean every visitor receives every service free of charge.

Healthcare access when choosing a home

Consider more than map distance to a hospital: daytime and nighttime transport, access without a car and specialties needed for regular follow-up. Recheck current clinic locations and contact details before travelling; do not upload your medical records to a property enquiry form.
