Hadassah Medical Center Opens First Facility in Cyprus

The Hadassah Medical Organization, based in Jerusalem, has inaugurated its first international medical facility in Limassol, Cyprus. The Hadassah Medical Center Cyprus, which has been operating for several weeks, offers specialized consultations in cardiology and neurology, medical imaging, laboratory services, and rehabilitation programs. This expansion is part of a partnership with Cypriot entrepreneurs and is intended to be followed by a hospital complex in Nicosia.

The initiative aims to leverage Israeli medical expertise while attracting investment and enhancing specialized healthcare services in Cyprus, positioning it as a regional medical tourism hub. For Hadassah, the move signifies an expansion of its reach, access to an international patient base, and the development of collaborative pathways with its Jerusalem teams for complex treatments.

This collaboration deepens the ties between Israel and Cyprus, extending cooperation into healthcare following previous agreements in energy, defense, and innovation. During the inauguration ceremony, Israeli President Isaac Herzog described the opening as a "new important chapter in the partnership between Israel and Cyprus," highlighting the connection between the two peoples and their medical communities. Carol Ann Schwartz, President of the Hadassah Women's Organization, emphasized the project's international dimension, stating that "medicine can serve as a bridge to peace." Professor Yoram Weiss, Hadassah's Director General, affirmed the institution's commitment to making its expertise accessible globally, with Cypriot healthcare professionals set to work alongside specialists from Jerusalem to provide advanced care to the island's residents.
