The quality of healthcare in Saint Lucia is generally good, but resources can be limited and waiting times can be long. Many healthcare professionals in Saint Lucia have been trained overseas, and the country has a relatively high doctor-to-patient ratio.

For serious medical emergencies or complex treatments, patients may need to be evacuated to a larger hospital or even overseas," remarked another expat in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia.
