Large hospitals usually offer not only consultations and diagnostics but also comprehensive check-up programs, so it is helpful to clarify when booking if several tests and consultations can be completed in a single visit.

Below is a list of private clinics by region, contacts, useful links regarding insurance, and answers to frequently asked questions.

For regular monitoring, check-ups, specialist consultations, pregnancy management, and planned treatment in Northern Cyprus, people most often turn to private clinics. Before booking, it is useful to clarify the language of communication, the doctor's profile, the availability of a laboratory and diagnostics, the possibility of undergoing a package examination, and whether the clinic accepts an insurance policy or requires on-site payment.

If the treatment is not planned for the day of application, it is convenient to request an approximate cost for consultations and examinations in advance. For emergencies, it also makes sense to save the clinic's general number and, if available, the hospital's own ambulance number.
