The Cayman Islands Health Services Authority (HSA) Accident & Emergency (A&E) service will be temporarily relocated from Friday, 19 May 6:00 PM until Monday morning, 22 May 2023 due to renovations to expand and enhance the service.
Patients requiring emergency care may access A&E using the main hospital atrium entrance. Signage and security will be in place for directions. Patients should also expect some disruptions to service including longer wait times as a result of reduced bed capacity.

A&E will remain open 24 hours a day without interruption to ensure the continuity of patient care.
