What We Do

We create Programs that help to improve the well-being of children

Recognizing the importance of a child’s continued family presence in difficult times, RMHC creates “Family Rooms” and “Houses”, which are always located in or next to hospitals where children are treated. RMHC may also mobilize Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles, who can visit areas where health care is not immediately available.

Ronald McDonald Family Room®

The first major project of RMHC Cyprus was the creation of the Pediatric Clinic for children with heart disease at the Archbishop Makarios III Hospital in Nicosia, which was officially inaugurated in October 2014. The pediatric clinic was home to the Chapter’s Ronald McDonald Family Room® up until 2021.

Ronald McDonald House® Nicosia

RMHC Cyprus’ second project was the Ronald McDonald House® close to the Archbishop Makarios III Hospital, which was completed in 2022. The House can accommodate families of children from all over Cyprus whose children are hospitalized in medical clinics in the capital.

Many families travel far from home and spend several weeks or months to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children – a long time to be away or to divide a family. And, for children facing a serious medical problems, nothing seems scarier than not having mom and dad close by for love and support. The Ronald McDonald House® close to Archbishop Makarios III Hospital provides a place for families to call home so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little to no cost.

Our House was built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest. We believe that when a child is hospitalized the love and support of family is as powerful as the strongest medicine prescribed.

Allow Families to Stay Together
Families are stronger when they are together. By staying at our Ronald McDonald House®, parents can better communicate with their child’s medical team and keep up with complicated treatment plans when needed. They can also focus on the health of their child.

Allow Children to Get the Best Care
When your child is sick, you want the best care possible. Our Ronald McDonald House® allows families to access specialized medical treatment by providing a place to stay at no cost.

At our House, we offer Families:

  • Private en-suite bedrooms
