Saint Lucia Country Information
Saint Lucia is a beautiful Caribbean island in the Windward Island chain of the Lesser Antilles. Many expats find that this island offers more affordable living standards along with lush mountains, friendly locals and great food and beaches. More and more expatriates are choosing to move to Saint Lucia and enjoy the tropical weather and island lifestyle. The island is very popular with divers and is a regular cruise ship destination. The official language is English, but most speak Creole French.
Healthcare in Saint Lucia
The country is known for its healthy population and above average life expectancy compared to other Caribbean Islands. Most locals in Saint Lucia will be covered by the public systems, but most expatriates living there will want to obtain private medical care that will cover them both in Saint Lucia, but also worldwide. It will also be wise to consider having a global medical plan that covers medical treatment in the USA along with evacuation and repatriation as this probably won’t be offered by a local private plan.

Expats should seek medical advice on vaccinations before travelling to Saint Lucia and be aware of common insect-related diseases. There are two main hospitals on the island and medical care in the more remote areas is quite limited.
