Hadassah Medical Organization opens first center in Cyprus

On July 28, 2026, the Hadassah Medical Organization held a blessing ceremony for its new facility in Limassol, Cyprus. This establishment marks the first official center for the historic medical group outside of Israel. The event was officiated by Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol and Rabbi Arie Zeev Raskin, who placed a mezuzah at the main entrance, highlighting the integration of Jewish tradition within the new healthcare infrastructure.

Key leadership, including Chairman Lambros Christofi and CEO Giorgos Zachariadis, emphasized that the center prioritizes personalized patient care, diagnostic precision, and the transfer of advanced Israeli medical expertise. The official grand opening is scheduled for October 15, 2026, with international representation from Cyprus, Israel, and Greece. Looking forward, the organization has revealed an ambitious expansion strategy for the island. While one source indicates that the construction of a larger hospital in Lakatamia is planned for the next three years, another report states the organization aims to establish a hospital within the next twelve months.

The project represents a significant milestone for the Cypriot healthcare sector, signaling a new era of medical service provision. The ceremony was attended by state officials, business leaders, and representatives from the medical community.
