In-Depth People and Society Profile

Health, education, religion, languages, notable people, and society — available to members.

There is only one hospital, Princess Alexandra Hospital (telephone: 264-497-2551), and a handful of clinics in Anguilla, so medical facilities are limited. Serious problems requiring extensive care or major surgery will require evacuation to the United States, often at considerable expense. It is strongly recommended that you obtain international travel insurance before undertaking any overseas travel.
