Health Services

What health services are available to staff and their families?

A free National Health Service is available to staff members of the Secretariat and their families. It is important to review the surgeries and health centres near you before selecting one. Once chosen it will be difficult to change. The General Practitioner at surgeries or health centres is your primary health service provider, though in case of urgent need you may go to a private doctor for a fee. The Secretariat does not have an employer assisted private group health insurance for its staff.
