The Cyprus General Healthcare System (GESY) is a modern, patient-centric healthcare system with the aim of delivering quality healthcare services to all its beneficiaries.

The main features of this newly introduced system (2019) is to offer universal coverage to all Cypriot citizens, to provide equal and equitable treatment, giving the freedom of choice of health provider by the beneficiaries and more.

The first phase of GESY started on 1 March 2019 while the full implementation is set to be on 1 March 2020. The Contributors to the system are Employees, Employers, the State, Self-employed persons, Pensioners, Income-earners, Government Officials and Persons responsible for the payment of remuneration to Government Officials.

As from 1st of March 2020, there will be an increase in the contributions paid by all the above contributors as shown in the chart below:
