Healthcare in Cayman Islands
Cayman Islands is a British Overseas Territory. Healthcare is delivered through a compact public system - a main hospital supported by community clinics - alongside private practice, with established referral links to larger centres in the region, the United States and the UK. Small, well-defined health systems like this one mean care pathways are short and patient populations are easy to characterise.
Why Cayman Islands for clinical research
The chronic-disease burden that dominates Caribbean healthcare - obesity, type 2 diabetes and hypertension - is a daily clinical reality in Cayman Islands, and most patients here have never been offered a place in a clinical study. For sponsors, that combination - genuine disease burden, largely research-naive patients, and concentrated care pathways - is exactly what makes the region worth a serious look. PCRA Caribbean is building its member-site network in Cayman Islands now: sites join by choice, are onboarded to a common ICH-GCP standard, and are matched only to studies they can genuinely deliver.
