Practical
Coordinate is the GeoNames point for Matthew Town; the facility's exact position is not published. German Wikivoyage lists it as 'Matthew Town Hospital', Victoria Street, phone 339-1249 (undated listing - verify locally). Expect a clinic-level facility: serious cases are flown to Nassau, and Bahamasair flies to Inagua only a few days a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday per the Bahamas National Trust visitor sheet, 2020). Bring your own prescription medicines (BNT advises visitors to bring any special medication). In an emergency call the police (Gregory Street station) or the Defence Force at the government basin on VHF 16.
