Services

Maternity Services
From the moment you find out you are pregnant your life is transformed. Mother and Child Medical Center aims to work in partnership with you throughout your pregnancy, offering all of the services you will need including full antenatal care, your preferred or medically required delivery option and your postnatal care needs.
Laparoscopic Gynaecology Surgery Unit
As Cyprus largest private maternity clinic dedicated entirely to the care of women and children, we understand the sensitivity in seeking treatment for one of the complexities of women’s health.
Gynaecological Oncology Unit
One of the most important problems for a modern woman is the possibility of malignant disease (cancer) in her genitals (breast, ovary, fallopian tube, uterine, cervical, vaginal, vaginal). The incidence, morbidity and mortality of these diseases is relatively high. Indicatively, cervical cancer continues to kill about 30,000 women in Europe annually and 250,000 women worldwide, and our country annually harms 50-60 women, most of them young, who have not had children, and of them 20 to 25 lose their lives every year.

Gynecological Oncology has now been established as a medical sub-specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology, which deals with the pathology of the woman’s genital system, prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of gynecological cancer. Gynecological Oncology aims to improve the quality of care provision for cancer patients, who are most likely to be treated, at least in the majority of cases, by specialist gynecologists and oncologists.
