Ministry of HealthGovernment

The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Cyprus is the executive government department responsible for national health policy, disease prevention, and public healthcare regulation. Established in 1960 upon the nation's independence, it took over administrative health functions previously managed under British colonial rule. In 2019, the ministry spearheaded the landmark rollout of Cyprus's universal General Healthcare System (GeSY), fundamentally restructuring national healthcare delivery and governance.
