Eurobank highlights investment needs for Cyprus healthcare sector

Nicosia, Cyprus. Investment and access to financing will be central to the future development of Cyprus’ healthcare sector, according to Eurobank, which participated in the 9th Cyprus Healthcare Conference.

The conference examined challenges and opportunities in healthcare, including digital transformation, artificial intelligence and the development of a sustainable healthcare services ecosystem in Cyprus.

Investment and financing

Speaking at the event on Thursday, Eurobank Wholesale Banking general manager Phivos Stasopoulos said a modern healthcare system could not develop without investment and access to capital.

He said banks’ role extended beyond conventional lending, with financial institutions acting as strategic partners that support growth, innovation and transformation across the sector.

According to Eurobank, healthcare has become a dynamic economic sector in Cyprus in recent years, with the General Healthcare System, Gesy, serving as an important catalyst.

The bank said private investment, new infrastructure and growing investor interest were creating further opportunities for expansion.

Strategy and sustainability

Stasopoulos said the issue was not only the availability of capital, but how effectively it was directed towards projects and business models capable of creating value for patients, investors and the wider economy.

“A modern healthcare system cannot evolve without investment and access to capital,” Stasopoulos said.

He also highlighted increasing consolidation in the sector, saying greater scale could help healthcare providers use technology more effectively, offer more specialised services and strengthen competitiveness.

Eurobank said expansion should be supported by a clear strategy, strong corporate governance and sustainable business models.
