The UWI’s
Health Clinic provides primary health care, and is staffed by two full-time
Nursing Sisters and a panel of doctors, four of whom visit the clinic
regularly. Consultation with specialist consultants is available on
referral to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, which is a modern University teaching
hospital. Diagnostic dental services are provided monthly during the semester.
What kind of health care is available to students?
All
registered students are eligible to join the Cave Hill Campus Medical
Assistance Programme. This plan provides insurance protection through a
Comprehensive Major Medical Plan and covers most types of necessary medical
expenses. The Plan, however, does not cover Dental or Vision care.
