About
The Department of Infectious Diseases at the German Medical Institute (GMI) is the first dedicated, stand-alone unit of its kind in Cyprus. We offer high-quality, specialised services in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases—serving both oncological and immunocompromised patients, as well as the general population.
Our department plays an active role in the development of evidence-based guidelines for the optimal management of infections. In addition, we are engaged in the design and implementation of clinical research studies, collaborating closely with European and international networks of infectious disease departments and clinical institutions.
As part of GMI’s broader educational mission, the Department of Infectious Diseases is also committed to training medical staff and healthcare professionals on subjects related to infectious disease prevention and treatment.
We warmly welcome you to the Department of Infectious Diseases.

Research
Our team consists of distinguished professionals who are active members of Cypriot, Greek, European, and international scientific societies and organisations dedicated to Infectious Diseases and Infection Surveillance.
Many of our physicians hold positions of responsibility within these organisations, contributing to the advancement of the field at both regional and global levels.
They are actively engaged in authoring and publishing peer-reviewed research in leading international medical journals and regularly present their findings at national and international scientific conferences.
Moreover, the department plays an instrumental role in promoting the organisation of such conferences in Cyprus, thereby fostering the development of medical knowledge, education, and research within the country.
The Department
Our department is staffed by highly qualified specialists with extensive experience in leading hospitals across Greece and abroad, particularly in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infections affecting both oncology patients and the general population.
We continuously update our clinical practices and therapeutic strategies in accordance with the latest international protocols and scientific developments in the field of Infectious Diseases.
In our commitment to precision and excellence, we collaborate closely with the Departments of Microbiology, Radiology, and Nuclear Medicine—all of which are equipped with cutting-edge diagnostic technologies. These collaborations play a vital role in the accurate diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of infections.
Our department is actively involved in research initiatives both in Cyprus and internationally, including Greece and other countries, with the goal of offering our patients access to the most advanced diagnostic tools and innovative treatments—especially for complex or rare infectious conditions.
As an active member of prominent European and international infectious disease societies and organizations, we are dedicated to offering authoritative, multidisciplinary guidance for the management of challenging infections. These often require the coordinated expertise of multiple medical specialties, and we take pride in contributing to such collaborative efforts.
