In the year before we opened our clinic, we compared all the European/EU countries in detail to ensure that our patients would get the best treatment options, the best quality of care, the best prices and the best accessibility. We wanted to build the clinic we wished we had when we were ill. Or as Dr. Jaeger in her latest interview with our co-founder Markus Klotz said: 'The place of his dreams'.
In February 2022 we opened the Apheresis Center in Larnaca, Cyprus. To date it is the only English-speaking clinic that offers Help Apheresis and Combination Therapy.
Why did we choose to base our clinic in Cyprus?
Cyprus of all European and EU countries offers the best of all worlds for international and local patients:
- English is one of the two official languages of Cyprus and Cypriots are renowned for their warmth and hospitality.
- Telecommunications infrastructure: Exceptional telecommunications infrastructure ensures that visitors remain well connected to their families and support networks while receiving medical treatment on the island.
- Excellent medical support from private clinics like American Medical Center or Apollonian Hospital. As a member of the European Union, Cyprus boasts a modern and thriving infrastructure, complemented by a medical system of advanced equipment and technological sophistication. This ensures a high level of patient safety and access to the latest treatments which is further enhanced by the presence of many local doctors who have been educated in the United States or the United Kingdom. This language advantage facilitates seamless communication and patient-doctor interactions.
- It is easily accessible with over 70 direct flight connections and two airports. Situated at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, Cyprus benefits from its strategic geographical location.
- The island has the best climate in Europe and has 100% air-conditioned buildings during the European summer's heatwaves
- Ionic sea air
- Great food quality
- Low prices for transport, food and accommodation
- Short distances between airport, clinic, the sea and accommodation
Our clinic was founded by former sufferers of chronic conditions, therefore our lived experience is reflected in every single detail in the clinic. From a separated waiting area where patients can lie down to rest, to low light and low noise environment - every single detail was designed under the influence of our lived experience.
The Combination Therapy (The Cyprus Protocol) based on Help Apheresis was born from our own recovery stories through it's application on ourselves and our family members.
Linked to the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite in the eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus transcends its reputation as a sought-after holiday destination to present a compelling proposition for medical tourism. Bolstered by its temperate climate and exceptional hospitality, the island continues to attract the attention of a growing number of medical tourists worldwide.
There is a reason why famous people like Shakira, John Terry or Peter Andre own properties on the island of Cyprus and visit regularly: It stands as a premier (medical) tourism destination, combining its natural attractions and historical richness with advanced healthcare offerings and exceptional amenities to create a comprehensive and compelling experience.
Over the last 2 years patients have travelled to us from all over the world.
