In Northern Cyprus, the opening hours of pharmacies have been updated, which will become more convenient and adapted to the needs of the population. The new regime will take effect on September 16, 2024 and will last until September 21, 2025.
The document establishing the new procedure for the work of pharmacies for the next year officially entered into force and was published in the Official Gazette. This step aims to improve public service in the regions of Nicosia, Famagusta, Girne, Güzelyurt, Lefke, Iskele, Mesarya and Karpas, taking into account seasonal changes.
From September 16 to May 11, the winter mode of operation will be in effect, and from May 12 to September 21, 2025 – the summer mode. During this period, pharmacies will work with an updated schedule to ensure better access to medicines and services.
For the convenience of residents, the pharmacies on duty will be open from the moment the rest are closed until 08:00 am the next day, which will ensure the round-the-clock availability of the necessary medicines. On Saturdays from 13:30 to 08:00 on Monday, only pharmacies on duty will also be open, which will facilitate access to medicines on weekends.
The new schedule aims to improve service and create a comfortable environment for all residents and visitors of Northern Cyprus.
