Polis Chrysochous, Cyprus. Mayor Yiotis Papachristofi said procedures for the construction of a new town hospital are progressing on schedule, with the project expected to be ready by the end of 2028. He described the hospital as vital for the broader area.
Project timeline and support
Papachristofi thanked President Nikos Christodoulides for supporting and promoting the project. He said the goal is to lay the foundation stone in January 2027 and complete the hospital by the end of 2028.
Healthcare needs and current facility
Papachristofi said the new hospital will help meet modern healthcare needs for residents of Polis Chrysochous and surrounding communities. He said the current hospital dates from the British colonial period and no longer meets present-day requirements.
Expected demand and cabinet decision
Papachristofi said demand for healthcare services is expected to grow in coming years due to development in the region, and that necessary infrastructure needs to be built in time. On Wednesday, the cabinet approved the expropriation of land where the hospital will be built.
Size of the new facility
Health Minister Neophytos Charalambides said the new facility will cover an area of 21,000 square metres.
