Athens Medical Group (AMG) was established in 1984. Its goal: to provide high quality, integrated healthcare services, based on a patient – centered approach. From the first years of its operation, it became a “catalyst” of progress in Healthcare, being the first Greek medical institution to introduce state-of-the-art medical equipment and secure collaborations with distinguished scientists, thus providing services equal to those of internationally acclaimed hospitals.
European University Cyprus and Athens Medical Group have signed a Memorandum of Strategic Cooperation for the clinical training of medical students in the Group’s high-tech hospitals in Athens and Thessaloniki.

Drawing on the University’s existing strong foundation as a center of research and knowledge transfer and as an incubator and accelerator for industry solutions, the Center plays a vital role in generating powerful ideas and implementing new solutions that both inspire and ensure sustainable economic growth.
