I lived on the island for a couple of years and have had to visit people there and (unfortunately) get treatment myself after a moped accident.

In my opinion the doctors are good but the standard of nursing is not like the uk, they tend to rely on friends and family looking after you a bit more. I'm guessing your friend won't be travelling alone so i don't see it as a major concern.

I managed to break my leg in a couple of places whilst in Rhodes a few years back--------no, not on a moped!The care I had was excellent and the doctors here couldn't believe that my plastering had been in Greece, they were most impressed. As Marcus says the nursing standard is different to ours but the medical care is first class. There's a brand new hospital now and a new private clinic is almost ready.
