How are local medical facilities in Martinique?

We asked members about local medical facilities in Martinique, they wrote...

"The hospitals, as they say are-only for extreme emergencies. If your.... Having chest pain stand not a heart attack, or feeling numbness in a body part and it's not falling off.... Be prepared to be on top of the "why are they here list". Most "doctors" in the er are interns. They are quick to tell you if its not life and death don't go to the er. The quality of health care isn't the best here.... Meaning.... Take care of your self, and get a few classées of natural remedies in before you come," remarked another expat who made the move to Schoelcher, Martinique.

"Hospitals can be a win lose situation depending on where you stay. The cost without insurance is high, but sometimes, they can find a way to work with you. Pharmacies aren't 24/7 some in some cases you may have to wait until morning to get your prescriptions. More doctors are student doctors rather than the more advanced ones. Yet, you find they have a lot of knowledge and are always happy to help," explained one expat living in Fort-de-France, Martinique.
