How do I check a doctor in Cyprus?

The Cyprus Medical Council regulates registration in the Republic of Cyprus under the Medical Registration Law. Patients can consult published register material, but should ask the council to confirm present standing rather than rely on an older downloadable list.

How do I look up a doctor?

Ask for the doctor's full name and registration number. Open the Ministry of Health's Cyprus Medical Register document and look for the matching entry. The published document is labelled 20230427 on a May 2024 page, so it does not establish live status in October 2026.

Contact the council to confirm current registration and any restrictions. The register is in Greek, while official guidance is also available in English. These routes concern the Republic of Cyprus, not the northern part of the island. The Cyprus Medical Council's introduction identifies the regulator.

How do I check a specialist or a dentist?

Ask the Medical Council to confirm the exact recognised specialty against its current record. A specialty-recognition application process exists, but an application is not proof that a title has been recognised. The council's registration and specialisation form identifies that separate process.

Dentists are regulated by the Cyprus Dental Council. Locate the Dental Register through the council's documents page and compare the name and registration number. The council describes records containing name, address, registration date and qualifications. Ask it to confirm current standing and any specialist recognition.

Does the register show disciplinary action?

Ask the appropriate council about current restrictions and available disciplinary information. An older list cannot establish present unrestricted practice or a complete sanctions history. If the public document lacks status information, request a current answer for the named professional.

What about doctors trained abroad?

Foreign training must meet the council's eligibility, recognition and registration requirements. Nationality conditions also apply, so recognition of a qualification alone does not settle every eligibility question. Foreign specialist qualifications require the relevant council's recognition. The government's guidance for doctors explains the professional route.

Foreign-trained dentists must likewise satisfy the Dental Council's recognition and eligibility rules before registration.

What do US, Canadian or UK titles mean here?

An overseas Fellowship does not by itself establish Cyprus specialist registration; use the foreign-credentials guide to verify the separate claim.
