We can provide information to help take the stress out of cancer treatment. This includes information on the systems of support at the Lefkoşa State Hospital Oncology Unit, chemotherapy treatment, radiotherapy treatment, prescriptions for drugs, provision of equipment, private medical care, etc.
Information sheets and Maps are also available (click here)
Whatever your question about cancer treatment and provision in TRNC one of our team of cancer support workers will try to help. They are available to visit you in your home, answer telephone or email queries or link you to volunteer’s willing to share their experiences of cancer care in TRNC.
Cancer support workers can also arrange appointments for you to see the Oncologist.
If you request help from Tulips you will be asked to complete a Membership Form (membership of Tulips is free - request to have a form sent to you: [email protected]). The information that you provide helps us to give you the best advice we can.
| Financial worries? |
Healthcare in TRNC is not free. Surgery, drugs, blood tests, scans etc have to be paid for. If you are diagnosed with cancer contact us for further information.
Treatment is available at Lefkoşa State Hospital and at various private hospitals.
Tulips cannot fund surgery but may be able to help with the cost of chemotherapy drugs. However this is subject to the completion of a Financial Status Form and is also dependent upon the charity funds available at the time, as the charity is funded by public donations only. Form Request |
