It was 300 babies during the early to mid 1960s- 56 babies died in 1964.

Article here:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/cyprus/8086181/British-government-investigates-300-mystery-baby-deaths-on-Cyprus.html

An investigation into the deaths was concluded in 2010:

"The figures have been examined by an independent expert, who has advised that the mortality rates are not notably out of line with what might be expected in the conditions existing in Cyprus in the 1960s."

Do you have a copy of her DC, or are you looking for her medical records?
Her DC can be ordered through the GRO.

If you believe there was an enquiry/cover up, would a Freedom of Information (Act) request be appropriate? You might find it worthwhile getting legal advice if you took that route as you could get tangled up with the Official Secrets Act.

Do you know if the pregnancy went to full term?

What makes you think of a cover up ?

Perhaps because it's late and I am tired but I'm still not sure what sort of help you are looking for. Sorry if I am being thick.
