CEO says the Limassol centre will connect patients with Israeli specialists, advanced diagnostics and second medical opinions.
The team behind the new Hadassah Medical Center Limassol says its ambition goes beyond opening another private healthcare facility, with plans centred on introducing a different approach to diagnosis, treatment and specialist care in Cyprus.
Speaking ahead of the centre's official opening on July 1, CEO Georgios Zachariades said the project is built around collaboration with Hadassah Medical in Israel, giving patients in Cyprus access to the expertise, clinical protocols and specialist support of one of the world's leading academic medical institutions.
According to Zachariades, one of the biggest changes for patients will be a care pathway that combines diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and preventive medicine rather than treating each stage separately. He said the model is designed to provide continuity of care in Cyprus, including for patients with complex medical conditions.
The partnership will also allow Cypriot patients to obtain second medical opinions from Hadassah specialists in Israel. Cases requiring highly specialised treatment can be referred through an organised system when additional expertise is needed.
The Limassol centre will offer advanced diagnostic imaging, including MRI, CT, digital X-ray and ultrasound services, together with cardiology, neurology and specialised laboratory testing. Multidisciplinary medical teams and rehabilitation programmes for orthopaedic, neurological, cardiac and oncology patients will also be available.
Technology forms a central part of the project, with investment in advanced imaging systems, integrated patient data and artificial intelligence tools to support clinical analysis where appropriate. Zachariades said these technologies are intended to improve diagnostic accuracy and assist medical decision-making rather than replace clinicians.
The centre is also preparing to join Cyprus' GeSY healthcare system, with the aim of making its services available to a larger number of patients.
Looking beyond Limassol, Hadassah's long-term plans include the construction of a 200-bed hospital within the proposed Hadassah Health Park in Nicosia. The hospital is expected to operate alongside the diagnostic centre, creating an integrated healthcare network. Company officials estimate the hospital could become operational within the next two to three years.
Zachariades said Hadassah's relationship with Cyprus stretches back more than seven decades, adding that the organisation's reputation has been built on clinical expertise, strict medical standards and the confidence patients place in its care.
