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 on Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac; however, these may be limited in the range and volume of supplies, so if you require certain drugs it's generally best to stock up before travelling. Private dental clinics are also available, and Cayman has a nascent medical tourism industry; however caution is strongly advised before proceeding down this route. There is no national health service, and even the most remedial medical treatment is expensive. Private insurance is recommended.
