Healthcare rights of migrants
Requerentes de asilo Are entitled to free public healthcare if they do not have the means to support themselves. They have to apply for a medical card at the Ministry of Health or the General Hospital in their district in order to have access to the public healthcare system. Note that asylum seekers are not covered by the General Health System, and thus cannot access personal GPs.
Refugiados Are entitled to healthcare under the same conditions as Cypriot nationals. Healthcare is received under the General Health System (GeSY).
Migrantes indocumentados Can access emergency care free of charge. They may also access primary and secondary care in return for payment of the full cost.

Teste: Testing is free and anonymous for all. It is provided at the disease-control governmental centres in Nicosia, Limassol and Larnaca. Use the European test finder para ver onde você pode fazer o teste de HIV.
