Health Care

Modern medical facilities are available on Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac, including government- and privately-operated hospitals. There is also an island-wide, 24-hour 911 (or 555) emergency service. There are pharmacies across Grand Cayman. Private dental clinics are also available. There is no national health service and even the most remedial medical treatment is expensive. Private insurance is recommended.
