MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Medical
care in the British Virgin Islands consists of a small general hospital with
an emergency room staffed 24-hrs/day by physicians, several clinics on
Tortola, and one clinic in Virgin Gorda. Both islands are served by
ambulances staffed with paramedics. There are no medical facilities on the
other islands. A volunteer organization, Virgin Islands Search and Rescue (VISAR),
responds 24-hrs/day to medical emergencies at sea or on outer islands.
VISAR transports casualties to the nearest point for transfer to ambulance.
To reach VISAR, dial SOS (767) or call on Marine Channel 16.
There is no hyperbaric chamber in the BVI. Patients requiring treatment
for decompression illness are transferred to St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Most sensitive medical cases are transferred to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE: The Department of State strongly
urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to
traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and
whether it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.
REGISTRATION / EMBASSY LOCATION: Americans living
or traveling in the British Virgin Islands are encouraged to register with
the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate through the
State
Department’s travel registration website, and to obtain updated
information on travel and security within the BVI. Americans without
Internet access may register directly with the nearest U.S. Embassy or
Consulate. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the Embassy
or Consulate to contact them in case of emergency. The nearest U.S. Embassy
to the BVI is located in Bridgetown, Barbados. The Consular Section is
located in the American Life Insurance Company (ALICO) Building, Cheapside,
telephone 1-246-431-0225 or fax 1-246-431-0179, email
ConsularBridge2@state.gov, or
http://bridgetown.usembassy.gov.
The U.S. Consular Agent in Antigua, located at Jasmine court, St. John’s,
tel. 1-268-463-6531, is closer to the BVI and can also assist in some
limited non-emergency cases, by previous appointment only.
