Active On-Call Shifts
A doctor on an Active On-Call shift remains within the hospital for the entire 24-hour period, ready to respond promptly to any patient needs related to their specialty. This is in contrast to a doctor on Standby On-Call, who is available to address patient needs but is not required to be on hospital premises.
Although Cypriot law does not mandate that a hospital must have an Active On-Call System for every medical specialty throughout the 24-hour period, the Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus, fully aware of its responsibilities, ensures that it provides doctors from the following specialties on Active On-Call shifts every day:
- Cardiology
- Orthopedics
- Pediatrics
- General Surgery
- Anesthesiology
- Radiology
- Intensive Care
- Pathology
The 24-hour presence of specialists on Active On-Call shifts provides a significant and unmatched advantage for patients visiting the Emergency Department (ED) of the Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus.
