Health care

Most doctors and dentists are in private practice and patients are required to pay for any treatment by a GP. This can be at a surgery, at a temporary residence or in the Accident and Emergency Department at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital (PEH) which is operated by the Board of Health, as these services are provided by GPs in private practice. However, the Reciprocal Health Agreement only provides for immediately necessary treatment, such as urgently needed treatment for conditions which may arise during a stay. Hospital accommodation and medical services are provided free of charge to UK visitors under the act. There is also a charge for the ambulance service. Medical insurance is strongly recommended.
