The Cyprus Osteopathic Association (COA) is the professional body representing registered osteopaths practicing in the Republic of Cyprus. Our mission is to ensure the highest standards of osteopathic care, promote public awareness of the profession, and protect the health and safety of all patients who choose osteopathic treatment.
The Association has worked consistently with the Ministry of Health, other health care associatons, national authorities and parliament members to support the establishment of a clear legal framework for osteopathy. Through commitment, organisation, dedication, dialogue and determination we contributed to the process that led to state recognition of the profession and the creation of structures for registration, professional accountability, and public protection under the Ministry of Health.
Our ongoing commitment is to assist the competent authorities in implementing regulation in a way that ensures safety, transparency, and high professional standards for patients.
Establishing professional standards
A key priority of the Association is the promotion of high-quality osteopathic practice. We support:
- appropriate education and recognised qualifications,
- ethical conduct and professional integrity,
- evidence-informed practice, and
- cooperation with other healthcare professionals.
The Association actively works to increase awareness and understanding of osteopathy across the island. This includes engagement with the public, communication with healthcare partners, and representation of the profession within national and international networks.
Our goal is to ensure that people in Cyprus have access to safe, qualified osteopathic care and understand how osteopathy can contribute to musculoskeletal health and overall wellbeing.
Looking forward
We remain committed to supporting our members, collaborating with the Ministry of Health and in the future further strengthening the place of osteopathy within the Cypriot healthcare system.
