Health Care
There is one large hospital, the Kingstown General Hospital. In addition, there are district rural hospitals, health centers and a medical laboratory. Visitors can get treatment at primary level, but need a referral for access to the main hospital. As facilities are limited, serious medical problems require evacuation to another island or the USA. Visitors would be expected to pay the full costs for services, therefore health insurance with emergency repatriation is recommended.
