What are healthcare services like in San Fernando?

"Healthcare services in San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago are provided by both public and private sectors. The public healthcare system is free for all citizens and residents, offering a range of services from primary care to specialized treatments. The San Fernando General Hospital is one of the main healthcare facilities in the city, providing a wide range of services including emergency care, maternity services, and surgical procedures. There are also several private clinics and hospitals in San Fernando that offer high-quality healthcare services, often with shorter waiting times. However, these private facilities can be quite expensive. Despite the availability of these services, the healthcare system in San Fernando faces challenges such as overcrowding in public hospitals and a shortage of medical professionals. The government has been making efforts to improve the healthcare system, including investing in infrastructure and training for healthcare professionals," remarked another expat in San Fernando, Trinidad & Tobago.
