Lipe has several private international clinics near Walking Street plus a small government hospital by the school on Sunrise Beach — useful first-line care well away from the mainland.

Practical

Wikivoyage lists Siam International Clinic Koh Lipe (this position, near Walking Street), Southern Andaman Medical Clinic and NemoLipe, all with English-speaking staff, and Lipe Hospital beside the school on Sunrise Beach with an English-speaking doctor. OpenStreetMap also maps Andaman International Clinic and SA Medical Clinic nearby. The Southeast Asia Pilot mentions two international clinics. Serious cases go to Satun Hospital on the mainland via Pak Bara or Tammalang, or to Langkawi. Wikivoyage warns of stonefish in island waters (wear reef shoes) and notes that speedboat crossings can cause back and neck injuries.
