Local Hospitals

Healthcare practitioners on-Island provide public and private healthcare services to three distinct demographics: Caymanians, Expatriates and Medical Tourists. With nearly 4.5 Doctors and 6.3 nurses for every 1,000 people in Cayman, those seeking medical services can almost always find the quality expertise that they need.

Services fall into one of three subcategories: Pre-Acute Care (Public Health Services, Primary Care, Pharmacy Services, Laboratory Services, Diagnostic Imaging Services), Acute Care (Urgent Care, Accident or Emergency Care, Inpatient General Hospitals, Medical Tourism), and Post-Acute Care (Home Care, Mental Health and Substance Abuse Facilities, Long-Term Care and Nursing Homes, Palliative and Hospice Care). Although onIsland care is available across these areas, residents may go to Florida for speciality assessments or treatments upon referral.

Unfortunately for adolescents in Cayman, there has been a continuous mental health decline. According to a 2018 survey administered by the National Drug Council (NDC) and the Alex Panton M Foundation, Cayman’s greatest health concerns exist among those aged 13-18. The NDC reported that 13% of adolescents in Cayman had attempted suicide far before the COVID-19 pandemic even began. Another survey in 2020 reported that approximately 78% of Cayman’s teens believed practitioners on-Island do not provide adequate mental health support. To help combat this, groups such as the Youth Ambassadors Programme (YAP) have formed, so that teens can share their experiences and work towards recovery as a community. Additionally, mental health professionals in Cayman are encouraging parents to be more observant of their teens’ anxieties, especially during the ongoing pandemic.

On a positive note, however, The Compendium of Statistics (2021) reported that Cayman has an average life expectancy of 82.3, where males are expected to live for every 1,000 people residing in the Cayman Islands. See below for details about all the local hospitals and their facilities.

C Y CM MY CY CMY K for approximately 80 years, and females 85 years. This ranks the Cayman Islands in 14th place among some of the highest life expectancy rates in the world.
