Makarios Hospital completes new paediatric surgery department

On September 17, 2026, the State Health Services Organisation (OKYPY) announced the completion of a new Paediatric Surgery Department at Makarios Hospital. This development is part of a broader, ongoing modernization initiative aimed at improving public health infrastructure and enhancing the quality of care provided to patients in the region.

In addition to the finished surgical unit, OKYPY confirmed that upgrade works remain in progress across several critical areas of the facility. These include the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the Paediatric Accident and Emergency Department, various maternity departments, paediatric wards, and the Thalassaemia Centre. The organization stated that the infrastructure improvements are being executed based on the evolving operational needs of the hospital.

The ultimate goal of these upgrades, according to health authorities, is to create an environment that better meets the specific requirements of children, mothers, and their families. By updating medical equipment and renovating clinical spaces, the hospital seeks to improve the overall day-to-day care experience for patients. The modernization process is continuous, with further developments expected as part of the broader regional health strategy.
