Jerusalem's Hadassah Medical Center officially inaugurated its Hadassah Medical Center Cyprus facility in Limassol on Thursday, October 15. The center is a joint venture with Cypriot entrepreneurs, who are responsible for financing and management, while Hadassah provides its brand, training, and professional support for medical staff. Hadassah is not investing its own capital in the project. The Limassol facility, which began treating patients weeks before the official opening, offers diagnostic services like MRI and CT scans, specialized departments in cardiology and neurology, a laboratory, specialist consultations, rehabilitation, and preventive medicine. It does not have inpatient services. The center will serve Cypriot residents, Israelis living on the island, and international patients. Concurrently, plans for a full hospital with inpatient facilities near Nicosia have been approved, which will also include collaboration on scientific research, teaching, and medical training. Israeli President Isaac Herzog hailed the opening as a significant step in Israel-Cyprus relations, symbolizing a bridge between the two nations. Hadassah hopes this collaboration will help revive medical tourism from Cyprus to Israel, which has significantly declined since the start of the war.
