Data Sources & Disclaimer

Pharmacy directory and duty rota

Pharmacy identities, published addresses, public pharmacy telephone numbers, registration numbers, and date-only duty assignments come from the Cyprus Pharmaceutical Services 2026 open-data release. The current source snapshot contains duty assignments from 1 May 2026 through 30 April 2027. Source data is attributed under CC BY 4.0.

Regular pharmacy schedule

Regular hours are calculated from the Cyprus pharmacy-hours order. The service supports the versioned 2026 summer/winter schedule and verified 2026 pharmacy-closure holidays in Asia/Nicosia time. It describes when a pharmacy should be open under the general schedule; it cannot detect an exceptional same-day closure.

Duty hours and overnight telephone cover

Duty-opening and overnight telephone periods are calculated only when an official duty assignment exists and the date is covered by the Cyprus Pharmaceutical Services 2026 duty-hours notice. “On duty” is not automatically the same as “open”. The applicable versioned notice defines the overnight telephone period: 23:00–08:00 through 30 September 2026 and 22:00–08:00 from 1 October 2026 through 30 April 2027. The website does not label the premises open during that period.

Addresses, coordinates, and directions

The official textual address is preserved as source data, but it is not treated as proof of a verified physical destination. Coordinates are separate enrichment. Fresh exact Google Places identity matches are preferred temporarily for distance and Directions. Trusted OpenStreetMap Nominatim or Geoapify results are used only as fallbacks. Ambiguous matches and material provider disagreements are excluded from automatic routing.

Current limitations and freshness

• Official imports and coordinate reconciliations are currently deliberate manual processes, not live government feeds.
• The supported duty rules and assignments end on 30 April 2027; unsupported dates are shown as unavailable rather than guessed.
• No official per-pharmacy seasonal registry is integrated, so seasonal status is not inferred for any Paphos pharmacy.
• Exceptional closures, temporary changes, and corrections may not be reflected immediately. Call before travelling when confirmation matters.
• Distance is shown only for pharmacies with trusted coordinates; pharmacies without them remain visible.
