International Private Medical Insurance For Travel To The Falkland Islands

Make sure you have appropriate international private medical insurance (iPMI) and travel insurance to cover the cost of medical air ambulance evacuation or repatriation services.

The general standard of healthcare in the Falkland Islands is good. The only hospital is located in Stanley and offers modern facilities with medical, dental and nursing staff. There is no resident qualified optician. More complex treatments might require medical evacuation.

If you need emergency medical assistance during your trip dial 999 and ask for an ambulance. You should contact your insurance/medical assistance company if you are referred to a medical facility for treatment.
