My husband now needs oxygen on a regular basis - refills at least once a week,sometimes more often. We live in Alsancak.

A friend drives me to Lefkosa Hospital, which my doctor said would refill the bottles for us, subject to a lot of walking around between various offices, all of which deny knowing where anything else is, paying at the impossible to find Vezne, and getting lost in the depths of the hospital. This often takes 2 hours. It is then necessary to go back the following day to collect the refilled bottle - another trek, another hour or so.

Now I appreciate that the medical system here is for the locals - a nice lady in one of the offices refused to help because I wasn't a citizen, and I had to go and see the chief of staff to get permission. This palaver needs to be done for every visit.There have to be lots of aging folk here who need oxygen - surely there must be a local manufacturer somewhere, who can deliver to us, subject to a small fee?

CAN ANYONE HELP,PLS Tx Kim

Did you try the British Residents Society ? They may be able to help you.

Going back a few years I had a simlar problem in the UK , managing a resettlement project for people with disabilities , what i managed to do was approach a local chemist and asked if they would stock the oxygen cylinders for me on behalf of the person with the disability , it was not an easy task as the area was quite rural but after a lot of jaw jaw jaw the chemist did accomodate . Maybe a chemist over there would accomodate you also . Hope this helps and good luck !!!
