Republic of Cyprus
School Health Services


The evolution of Cyprus school health services
Cyprus being a British Colony till 1960, delayed implementing School Health Services programs. The Colonial Authorities implemented mainly therapeutic programs of short duration during epidemics, as well as vaccination programs, mainly in rural schools. On the contrary, the Local School Authorities, consisting of Local Community Leaders, were periodically employing doctors in different towns, until 1914. The first Health visitor was employed in 1953.
