Health City Cayman Islands unveiled its second hospital, Health City at Camana Bay, in George Town on July 11. This cutting-edge facility, inaugurated by globally recognised physician Dr Devi Shetty, significantly advances Caribbean medical services. Specialising in cancer care, neonatal intensive care, and robotic surgery, Health City at Camana Bay reaffirms a commitment to delivering world-class healthcare throughout the Cayman Islands and beyond. The Health City at Camana Bay hospital is expected to be fully operational within the next few weeks.

The new 70,000-square-foot hospital, built for over US$100 million, includes a state-of-the-art Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and a Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) with 12 fully equipped beds for critical and post-operative care. The spacious inpatient facilities feature private rooms and a VIP Suite designed for optimal comfort and efficient recovery.

Complementing the flagship tertiary care hospital on East End Grand Cayman, the Camana Bay facility features an Emergency Room (ER) equipped with 10 beds to handle a wide range of urgent medical situations promptly and efficiently. The Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) features four specialised beds for critically ill newborns and one family-integrated care room to promote family involvement. Additionally, the hospital offers labour and delivery suites, including three modern labour and delivery beds and three triage beds, ensuring a comfortable and efficient birthing experience.

“Health City at Camana Bay represents a significant advancement in healthcare infrastructure, ensuring that residents and visitors have access to comprehensive, top-tier medical services,” said Dr Devi Shetty, founder of Narayana Health, Health City’s parent company. “From emergency care to specialised treatments and advanced diagnostics, our facility is poised to set a new standard in healthcare excellence across The Americas,” he added.

Health City at Camana Bay also provides dedicated kidney dialysis care with two specialised beds and cutting-edge diagnostic imaging services, including a 3T MRI, PET CT, and a mammogram machine, ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

This state-of-the-art medical campus features a robust robotic surgery programme and a Radiation Oncology Centre, which opened in March 2023. This will later expand to offer comprehensive and advanced oncology, including bone marrow transplantation and CAR-T Cell therapy, enhancing the medical oncology, hemato-oncology, and surgical oncology services already available.

“Our new medical campus expansion will provide greater healthcare security for the Cayman Islands and the region, offering residents and Caribbean nationals access to more services without the need to travel further afield,” said Health City Chief Business Officer Shomari Scott. “It ensures all major medical-care gaps are covered, safeguarding the ongoing health and safety of our people,” he said.

“The new Cancer Care Centre, along with our existing cardiac, orthopaedic and other specialty facilities, will ensure that no Cayman patient will ever need to leave our shores for treatment, and no Caribbean national will need to navigate the costly and complex healthcare systems abroad for treatment,” stated Dr Binoy Chattuparambil, Health City’s Clinical Director and Chief Cardiac Surgeon.

Narayana Health brings extensive bone marrow transplant experience. This, along with collaboration with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate and a global leader in cancer care and research, means Health City will continue providing outstanding oncology care services for domestic, regional and international patients.

“The opening of Heath City at Camana Bay marks a transformative leap forward in our nation’s healthcare landscape. This state-of-the-art facility embodies excellence in the healthcare sector and supports our country’s commitment to providing a well-rounded, wide range of medical services right here in the Cayman Islands, ensuring that residents, visitors and medical tourists have access to the best care possible,” stated Hon. Julianna O’Connor-Connolly, Premier of the Cayman Islands, who attended the ribbon-cutting.

“One of my priorities as Minister for Health and Wellness has been to work to strengthen Cayman’s healthcare system, and to do what we can to minimise our reliance on overseas providers,” shared Hon. Sabrina Turner. “Health City’s inauguration of their Camana Bay location is an important step in this direction as the new facility is accessible to many residents and visitors. Our local healthcare landscape is changing rapidly, and the challenge for all local providers now is to ensure that the services on offer meet the needs of the population as accessibility is also about ensuring that the care needed is both available and affordable.” She further stated, “As Health City continues to expand, I look forward to our continued work building synergies among local healthcare providers to enhance not only patient outcomes, but better health for the entire nation as there is much to be done in the areas of prevention, education and health literacy.”
