27° 37.1′ S · 144° 20.0′ W · approximate

The island's only medical facility, in Ha'urei village; with no airport and a ship only about monthly, it is the one source of help for 290 nm.

Practical

Approximate position: Ha'urei village (OSM); the building is not mapped. Pitufa (Nov 2018) and Noonsite (Jun 2024) both list a medical centre in Ha'urei. No hours or staffing are published. Medical evacuation would have to come by sea or helicopter from far away, so carry a full offshore medical kit and any prescription supplies for the whole stay. Contact the gendarmerie or mairie in an emergency if the centre is closed.
