Three hospital options to research in Limassol are Limassol General Hospital, Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus and YGIA Polyclinic. Start with the department and treatment you need, then confirm whether the appointment is through GESY, your insurer or private payment.
This guide compares their published roles and booking considerations. Inclusion is not a clinical endorsement, and the list is not comprehensive. For a serious medical emergency, call 112 instead of delaying care to compare providers.
Limassol hospitals: a useful starting comparison

Limassol General Hospital and the Old Hospital Health Centre
These names can cause confusion. Limassol General Hospital is the hospital facility; the Limassol Old Hospital Health Centre on Leontiou A is a primary-care centre. They are not interchangeable destinations for a hospital admission.
SHSO’s patient guidance for Limassol General describes specialist appointments and emergency services. Check the intended clinic, booking reference and entrance when planning a visit. For ongoing general medicine or nursing services, our Limassol healthcare-centre guide explains the primary-care options.
What Mediterranean Hospital publishes
Mediterranean’s official website describes round-the-clock hospital operation, an A&E department, intensive care and a trauma and resuscitation centre. It also provides doctor and department searches. Use those to identify the relevant service, then contact the hospital to confirm the practical arrangements.
Twenty-four-hour hospital operation does not mean every outpatient specialist is available without an appointment. Confirm the exact department’s schedule and whether a scan, consultation or follow-up requires a separate booking.
What YGIA Polyclinic publishes
YGIA’s profile states that it operates continuously and joined GESY in September 2023. It describes diagnostic services including laboratory work, MRI, CT and radiology, alongside maternity, paediatric and other hospital departments. Check the appropriate department directly instead of assuming that a general hospital booking covers every part of your care.
If you are comparing a planned procedure, ask about the clinician, the setting for recovery, the discharge process and follow-up. Publicly advertised equipment or hospital size alone cannot establish which option is right for your condition.
Questions to settle before a planned admission
- Which consultant is responsible, and at which location will the consultation and procedure take place?
- Is this exact service being booked through GESY or privately?
- Which referral or insurer authorisation must be arranged first?
- What is included in any private estimate, and how are additional services approved?
- Who will explain results and manage recovery once you leave the hospital?
Our public and private hospital guide explains ownership and payment routes. For a clinician rather than a facility, browse doctors in Limassol. The hospital directory is growing and is not a complete register of Cyprus hospitals.
