Morning all. Need to pay a visit to the Burhan State Hospital Nicosia. Never been before. Do you just turn up in the morning. This is of course after finding out which Doctor to see. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks. B.

Call 1101 and ask for an English speaker. I spoke to a very helpful chap yesterday. If you already have a number in their system an appointment can be made, if not you should be advised how to get one (this can be done in Girne).

The list of specialities, doctors and their days of attendance are here

Years ago you could just turn up (very early, people used to get there at 6am!) , take a ticket, get allocated an appropriate doctor, pay then wait to see the doctor. Don't know if that is still possible but it wasn't a pleasant experience.

come_on_aylin, I can remember those days and yes, it was extremely unpleasant and tainted my opnion of TC's. I once got there at 6.15 in order the join the queue for a ticket. At 6.45 I actually got to the top of the queue, having watched some people getting 6 or more numbers. I sat in a queue in a corridor in a wheel chair for over three hours when eventually a security man pulled the wheel chair and took me to the top of the queue, because someone had informed him that some people were saying "she isn't one of us, just get in front of her" I've never set foot in the building since, but I gather things have changed for the better.!!

I used to go so often with various people one of the lads on the doctor allocation desk used to beckon me over and give me a ticket. It was quite unusual for a Brit to be hanging around so I guess he took pity and was pleased to practice his English.

Hi all. Thanks for the info. Sorted now.
