The centre is based in Antigua, is the first of its kind in the Caribbean and aims to provide the highest quality of care to its patients. It is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and facilities and the care delivered is based on the Partnered Care Model where the delivery of healthcare involves the private sector, public sector and the general public, making treatment affordable to patients.

Their Services

The centre offers its patients the following services:

Medical Concierge Service – patients will be arriving from a number of Eastern Caribbean countries and having to travel for treatment can be a daunting and draining experience for patients.

They will be assisted with their luggage and transported to their guest house and transportation can be arranged to take patients to and from their appointments at the centre.
