Yes, worth every penny. Which you will need, because there's no health system, you got to deal with health industry on your own. You may be lucky to have your employer provide some health insurance for you, but don't hold your breath. With our luck (if there was a sackfull of X I'd draw a Y) we'd have one of the cases that actually aren't covered.

I've probably forgotten the rest of the list that you get for that tax, that you have to pay separately here. Cyprus is Europe, right?
