What are emergency services like in Bahamas?
When we asked members about emergency services in Bahamas, they wrote...
"We live on the west end of the Island which is close to the Lyford Cay Hospital (Private) and the Doctor's Clinic (Private). Both the public hospital and the Doctor's Hospital are in the downtown area and not that far of a drive. I have used all three of the private clinics and hospitals without any problems and have found the care and service to be more then adequate. I have not used the public hospital. All of them are serviced by an ambulance service as well," wrote a member who made the move to Nassau, Bahamas.

The ambulance will be dispatched to the location of the emergency and will provide medical assistance. The ambulance service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week," explained one expat living in Bahamas.
