Medical Care in British Virgin Islands
The health care system in the British Virgin Islands does not align with international standards. Before your trip, prepare a first aid kit containing fundamental and prescribed medicines. You will be able to find a small general hospital in Tortola which provides treatment for common diseases. The Virgin Gorda private clinics will provide you with quality care.
Emergency assistance offered in Tortola and Virgin Gorda is of high quality with competent paramedics. If you are staying on one of the other islands, accessing emergency medical help will probably be impossible. In the event of more serious health problems, you will have to be medically evacuated to either San Juan or Puerto Rico.
You can dial 999 for an ambulance service in the British Virgin Islands.
