Cyprus Ministry of Health issues warning regarding unlicensed medical centers

On September 11, 2026, the Cyprus Ministry of Health issued a formal statement affirming that it possesses the necessary mechanisms to monitor and regulate centers providing unauthorized medical services. The Ministry emphasized that these facilities often perform procedures that fail to ensure patient safety, posing significant health risks to the public.

The authorities have issued a strong advisory urging citizens to exercise extreme caution when considering advertised alternative therapies that lack scientific documentation or evidence-based validation. Officials highlighted the dangers inherent in receiving medical care at unapproved locations, noting that such practices fall outside regulated safety standards.

In response to these risks, the Ministry has requested that the public report any instances of illegal medical activity or suspect procedures encountered in unauthorized facilities. By encouraging these reports, the Ministry aims to facilitate thorough investigations into unlicensed providers and ensure that all medical services delivered within the country adhere to established health and safety protocols.
