Private Medical Care in North Cyprus and North Cyprus Health Insurance
Health
insurance is not compulsory in Northern Cyprus at the moment although
the government have been discussing plans to implement a compulsory
scheme, the proceeds from which would go to improve the medical
facilities across the island. Expatriate health insurance
plans in North Cyprus are available from many providers such as Bupa, AXA or American Express but the majority of those moving to North Cyprus
find that the cost of the health insurance coupled with the excess they
have to pay for each treatment received far exceeds the cost of any
medical treatment they have each year and so they don’t bother taking
out the insurance... it’s really a personal choice. Nevertheless
should you wish to take out a health plan, probably the most cost
effective one would be AXA KOC alliance plan, which is AXA in
connection with Turkish Koc Holdings. Monthly payments range from £15 -
£30 depending on the type of cover implemented.
