As the Cayman Islands population continues to grow, the Health Services Authority (HSA) is beginning the implementation of its 30-year Master Facility and Service Development Plan to expand services and access to care to meet the changing demographics and new demands for healthcare services.Amongst the HSAs plans is a satellite medical facility in Bodden Town that would replace the existing Bodden Town Health Centre and offer a range of expanded and new clinical services to residents of the eastern districts.The HSA has published a Request for Proposal (RFP) for architectural drawings of the new Bodden Town Medical Centre, which will also house its own Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Acute Care Services. The project will be undertaken in two phases over multiple years, with the first phase being the replacement of the existing Bodden Town Health Centre with enhanced services.The new clinic will include the following:
