State clinics of north cyprus

State clinics in Northern Cyprus provide emergency assistance to all people on the island.

Even if you have a travel visa that has a contract with a private clinic, in an emergency, if you call an ambulance, you'll be taken to a state hospital. And if you have a residence permit, then according to the insurance included in it, treatment will also be provided by the municipal hospital. Therefore, it is important to maintain their contacts.
