Bank of Cyprus Oncology Centre
The Bank of Cyprus Oncology Centre has represented the biggest and most successful partnership between the public and the private sector. Since its inauguration in 1998, it serves cancer patients and the society at large in Cyprus. It is also the first hospital in Cyprus and Greece to receive quality accreditation from Caspe Healthcare Knowledge Systems, Europe’s leading hospital accreditation organisation.
In 2021, the Interventional Radiology Unit started its operations with excellent results for the patients. In addition, the Centre signed an agreement of collaboration with an Interventional Pulmonologist to set the foundations for the development of an Interventional Pulmonology Unit.
