WELCOME ADDRESS
For a 6th year the Cardiology department of Paphos General Hospital, has
the honor and great pleasure to welcome doctors and other health
professionals to its annual educational activity. The dept of Cardiology was
established at the beginning of 2004 and offers secondary and tertiary
cardiology services to the people of the district of Paphos. The services
provided include acute cardiology, intensive cardiac care, stress tests, 24h
ECG and blood pressure monitoring, transthoracic, transoesophageal,
stress and contrast echocardiography, tilt testing, implantation of single and
dual chamber pacemakers and ICD’s and follow-up of patients on
outpatient basis. We consider the annual educational courses and other
similar activities of the department, as extremely useful in updating with the
most recent advances in a continuously changing field, like cardiology, and
in exchanging, at the same time, experience and knowledge with colleagues
from other hospitals and institutions, local and international.
We welcome you warmly to the beautiful city of Paphos, once capital of
Cyprus, we thank you for your participation and we wish you a fruitful and
pleasant stay.
