Health standards
The quality of medical care is on par with the
mainland US. St. Croix and St. Thomas each have
a hospital while St. John has a clinic. A number
of private clinics and practitioners are also
available, with a higher concentration on St.
Thomas, where there is also a hyperbaric
chamber. Complex cases may be transferred to
Puerto Rico or the mainland US. It is advisable
to obtain adequate medical/travel insurance,
including emergency medical evacuation by air.
