YGIA Polyclinic Private Hospital was established in 1983 in the heart of Limassol and commenced its operations in 1987.
In 2007, following major renovations and an expansion of our building facilities, we have increased our capacity to 128 fully-equipped beds, extended the number of operating theatres to 12, established and extended the range of services of the Clinical Laboratory, Radiology Departments (X-Ray, MRI/ CT), launched a multi-dynamic Intensive Care Unit (ICU), 24/7 Accident & Emergency Department, Maternity - Gynaecology and Paediatric Departments.
Since 16th of June 2011, a state-of-the-art Heart Catheterisations Center was inaugurated, enabling us to be the single 24/7 acute PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) service provider in Cyprus.
In our force, there is a range of fully equipped ambulance services to better respond to 24/7 emergencies.
As the largest and most reputable private hospital in Cyprus, we have such a modern infrastructure which rivals those of Western Europe and the USA.
We have been awarded in 2012 with the dual award of Accreditation and Quality Certification by CHKS, the leading provider of Healthcare Accreditation and Quality Assurance in the UK, for the overall quality of the health services we provide.
We maintain a Cyber Essentials Plus Accreditation and Cyber Essentials Certification by 2-SEC and Crest, under the UK Government Cyber Essentials Scheme Test Specification, for our Cyber Security technical processes and controls.
We also hold Certifications based on the International Standards of ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management System), ISO 15189:2012 (Medical Laboratories – Requirements for Quality and Competence), ISO 27001:2013 (Information Security Management System) and ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) and ISO 22000:2018 (Food Safety Management System).
We have adopted an open model of operation allowing licensed physicians that have undergone a screening process and have been approved as Associated Doctors to gain practicing privileges with us. Currently, we maintain cooperation with more than 200 distinguished Associated Doctors, who are pioneers in a wide range of medical specialties both in Cyprus and abroad.
We employ more than 460 medical, nursing, paramedical, administrative, and operational full-time staff, making us one of Cyprus’ largest employers. Many of our staff members are multilingual, thus offering transcultural patient care. Caring and attending for each of our guest’s needs is cultivated via a systematic, planned, and continuous enhancement of our staff’s knowledge, competences, and skills.
We are affiliated with St. George’s University, School of Medicine (London) and University of Nicosia School of Medicine.
YGIA Polyclinic has joined the General Health System (GHS) since 25th September 2023, offering all its services under it, including the Emergency Department.
Back in 1983, a pioneer group of doctors undertook a great initiative of establishing a private clinic in Limassol.
Their efforts in the face of various hardships were driven by their concept that such a private clinic would offer exquisite healthcare in serving the vision Health Above All.
Their pursuit came to its fullest culmination when YGIA Polyclinic Private Hospital commenced its operations in 1987.
Following the completion of a new wing back in 2007 and continuous major renovations to the initial building facilities, YGIA Polyclinic boasted its capacity to 152 fully-equipped beds, employing over 500 staff and maintaining cooperation with more than 200 distinguished Associated Doctors in Cyprus and abroad.
Throughout the course of history, we are proud to say that our Associated Doctors and our staff are the core and essence of the Hospital, with their extraordinary commitment to a patient-centred care mentality. To strengthen this foundation, we encourage continuous professional development and succession planning, develop various incentives programmes, and invest in continuous infrastructure improvements via a high-standard clinical and corporate governance model.
By remaining consistent to our core Values - Respect, Ethics, Compassionate Care, Teamwork and Quality - we built constructive and collaborative relations with staff, associates, suppliers and others, all reflecting into building caring and trustful relationships with our patients and their family members.
I welcome you to YGIA Polyclinic Private Hospital.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
The Chairman.
We believe that the essence of nursing practise is best described as the offering of compassionate care delivered in a culturally competent manner. A critical ingredient to our approach is doing so with dignity towards our patients, their families and loved ones.
Our nursing healthcare professionals are vital members of the patientcare team. They offer interdisciplinary care to thousands of patients of all ages and health groups per year.
The Nursing Care Division has under its umbrella various nursing departments, wards and services:
• Accidents and Emergency Department.
• Endoscopy.
• Operating Theatres.
• Central Sterilisation.
• Intensive Care Unit.
• Paediatric Ward.
• Medical Ward.
• Chemotherapy Services.
• Surgical Ward.
• Private & Suites Ward.
• Maternity & Gynaecology Ward.
• Porters.
• Administrative Services.
• Catering Services.
• Housekeeping Services.
The structure of the division is not a typical one, as, along with the nursing departments/ wards, it includes catering and housekeeping services because they form an essential part of patient recovery, care and experience.
On a scientific level, the Nursing Care Division builds its clinical nursing on evidence-based practises, following the guidelines issued by the World Health Organisation and the Ministry of Health in Cyprus. It partners with interdisciplinary groups and committees, teams up with Associated Doctors, In-House Doctors and other staff members across the Hospital, and participates in shared decision-making on a departmental and strategic level.
Our Internal Committees serve as high level enterprise internal governance bodies of YGIA Polyclinic. There are currently 15 Internal Committees, under the Board of Directors’ oversight umbrella:
