Abstract
Tiphoid Fevers, Malaria and Cholera were ilnesses which could be easily met in the island. Because, the island take place just at the cross roads between three continents and had never had a complicated health syt/stem till the British Period of the island had begun. Thus, Plaque of China or India, Leper of Egypt and Malaria as a native inhabitant of Cyprus, had transfered to tje orher partsi of the world with the pilgrims who had to visit the island on the way of Jarussalem. Although, Quaratine was esthabilshed during the late Ottoman period and Cyprus had two Quarantine centers at Larnaca and Limassol ports, it is not possible to claim that thy had been used effectivly. Bristish administrators had managed to create an effective public health system including Quarentine centers at all of the ports of the island with edecuated health officers. Even in the airport, after 1946. All of the arrivals had controlled without any exception. Even Royal Army completely had applied the quarantine rules to the staff by it’s own authorities. Even today, the Quarentine Laws which have created during the British time, are in charge at the both sides of Cyprus.
