Cayman Islands - Visiting the Doctor
There is a relatively new and well-equipped hospital on Grand Cayman in the capital George Town and a smaller facility, Faith Hospital, on Cayman Brac, which can cope with most routine medical and dental problems.
You should be aware that even the most remedial treatment is expensive and that more serious cases will normally be stabilised here before being transferred to Miami.
