Hospitals in Andaman and Nicobar Islands

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are a group of islands at the southeastern edge of the Bay of Bengal. While being an idyllic tourist destination, the islands have a healthcare system that is primarily structured around catering to the local populace, with a focus on primary healthcare.

Major Hospitals

Rural and Community Healthcare

Due to the archipelagic nature of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, several smaller islands have their own Primary Health Centres (PHCs) to ensure that medical care is accessible to all. Medical boats and outreach programs play a crucial role in reaching out to more remote areas.

Challenges and Innovations

The islands' geographical location poses unique challenges in healthcare delivery. The administration has employed telemedicine facilities to overcome some of these challenges, ensuring that residents on even the most remote islands have access to specialized medical consultations.
