Jamestown - Medical/Health

Select your download option below


There is a small (54 beds) modern, well-equipped General Hospital, a Dental Surgery and a Community Clinic in Jamestown. There are also six rural health clinics around the island, regularly visited by the doctors, dentist and community nurses.

There is no National Health Service and residents pay for all medical treatment. British Passport holders are eligible to pay local rates for medical and dental attention but non-UK residents pay higher rates.

Telephone the General Hospital on +290 2500 for further information or inquire at the Tourist Information office at the top of the square.

No chemist shops but over-the-counter remedies are available from the hospital pharmacy.

      Thanks for letting us know – very helpful! We are in touch with St. Helena now to find out new contact details or if indeed this business is still operating. Will update as soon as we know more.

      Indeed this business is operating no more, so thank you for picking up on this. In fact, Steve Kirk, Harbor Master, has done a great job going through the Jamestown information for us and advising of further updates.
