In case of emergency on Bora Bora

by Cathy

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any hospital or something on the island of Bora Bora, in case of emergency ?

Thanks.

Hi Cathy,

There is a medical center on Bora Bora. Medical care for major complications is not available on Bora Bora, but the hospital facilities in Papeete are excellent.

In an emergency, medical evacuation services with the local airlines or military planes or helicopters will air-lift to the general hospital based in Papeete.

Doctors practicing in Tahiti are either from France or have been trained in France.

For divers, the hospital in Papeete is fully equipped with the only decompression chamber in the islands.

Here is the medical clinic in Bora Bora:
