abroad in an English speaking country or an Eastern ex Soviet block country. You will find them in the

directory under Medical Practitioners.
| Laboratories are many and quick in Cyprus, you can have blood and
other tests, X-rays , scans and whatever other medical procedures are available in England
at a fraction of the cost without a waiting list. |
Dentists
here are good and many speak English. |
| Opticians are also many, cheaper than many other
European countries and quick, so if you wear glasses
