Counselors give follow-up support for at least a year to each patient completing the program. Overseas visitors are welcome if they can stay for a three-week period. The Ministry of Health operates a number of day health clinics all over the island, primarily for women and children. The doctors, nurses and health personnel offer a variety of services including family planning, prenatal and antenatal care, inoculations, treatment and advice on sexually transmitted diseases, and dental clinics. In addition, should visitors or residents have cuts and bruises as a result of a minor traffic accident, clinic nurses can help them out.
Treatment is free.
Though there's a charge for medications, it is at a much lower rate than usual. Baby clinics are for children up to 5 years old who need weight-monitoring, nutritional assistance, immunizations and treatment for common ailments. Overseas visitors are welcome to take their children should they become ill on holiday. Here we list the clinics east to west, parish by parish. The Hamilton Health Centre is the only one open daily.
