1. About This Service

Giatroi.info is a free, informational healthcare directory for Cyprus. It lists doctors and healthcare providers registered with the General Healthcare System (GeSY). The service is operated by Vladimir Bugay, an individual based in Cyprus.

By using giatroi.info, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.


2. No Medical Advice

IMPORTANT: Giatroi.info provides directory information only.

  • This service is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
  • We do not recommend, endorse, or evaluate any healthcare provider listed on this platform.
  • We do not verify the competence, qualifications, or quality of care of any listed provider.
  • A provider's listing on this platform does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation.

3. Data Source and Accuracy

All healthcare provider data displayed on giatroi.info is sourced from the official GeSY registry (gesy.org.cy). The data is updated periodically but may not reflect real-time changes.

4. Platform Neutrality

All healthcare providers are displayed on equal terms. The platform maintains strict neutrality:

  • No provider pays for a basic listing or receives preferential treatment.

If premium or featured listings are introduced in the future, they will be clearly and transparently identified, in compliance with the EU Platform-to-Business Regulation (Article 5).
