Health Care

There is a limited reciprocal health agreement with the UK. On presentation of proof of residence in the UK (NHS card, driving licence, etc), those under 16 or over 65 receive all medical and dental treatment free of charge. Other UK residents are entitled to free treatment as follows: on Grand Turk, dental treatment, prescribed medicines and ambulance travel; on the outer islands, medical treatment at government clinics and prescribed medicines. There are community clinics on all islands, and a small hospital on Grand Turk, as well as a number of private practitioners, and also an emergency care facility, but for serious emergencies patients are taken to the USA. Comprehensive insurance is strongly advised for all nationals.
