The Friends’ Hospice is an independent registered charity serving the population of Paphos and its surrounding districts. It opened its doors in April 2006 with two beds, and has since cared for more than 300 patients, over half of whom were Cypriots, the remaining being British and other nationalities.
Our Hospice has, since July 2007, its own wing in The Evangelismos Hospital, where, at the moment, we have four beds, with occupancy running at around 70%. The number of beds is directly related to the cost and availabilithy of the specialist nursing staff which are required to provide the 24/7 palliative care.
