Narganá Health Centre (Small Hospital)
9° 27.0′ N · 78° 35.0′ W · approximate
As seat of the Narganá district, Nargana (Yandup) has a small hospital and a school: the nearest medical help for crews in the central San Blas.
Practical
Coordinate approximate: Wikipedia's point for Narganá (about 9°27'N 78°35'W); the whole town fits on the island and takes about ten minutes to walk across, so ask for the hospital ashore. Spanish Wikipedia notes the 'pequeño hospital' and school. Capability is limited: for anything serious, evacuate via the CZJ airstrip on neighbouring Corazón de Jesús or the Cartí road to Panama City. Carry a well-stocked medical kit.
