4 places to discover
Find emergency services in Exuma including hospitals, clinics, police, coast guard, and pharmacies. Essential contacts for travelers.
For an immediate emergency in The Bahamas, call 919 or 911. Give the dispatcher your exact island or cay, settlement, nearby landmark and callback number. This directory helps visitors identify emergency contacts and routine services; it does not provide live dispatch, medical advice or confirmation that a facility can treat a particular condition. Follow the dispatcher’s instructions instead of relying on a directory pin.
| Need | Starting point | Check before you go |
|---|---|---|
| Immediate police, fire or medical emergency | 919 or 911 | Tell the dispatcher you are in Exuma and identify the exact island and location |
| Routine clinic inquiry in George Town | Government clinic directory: +1 242 336 2088 | Current location, hours, available service and visitor payment arrangements |
| Routine clinic inquiry near Forbes Hill | Government clinic directory: +1 242 345 4144 | Confirm the facility and service before traveling; this is not a dispatch line |
| Routine clinic inquiry on Black Point | Government clinic directory: +1 242 355 3007 | Current staffing and service; do not assume a Great Exuma clinic is nearby |
| Severe-weather preparation | Official Bahamas disaster-management updates | Current notices for your island, accommodation plan and transport changes |
| Animal welfare or veterinary help | The separate Humane Society Exuma listing | Species, service, location and availability; it is not human emergency care |
Save emergency contacts and your accommodation location offline. Keep your host’s contact and any boat operator’s number available, particularly when staying on a cay. In an emergency, contact emergency services first; a routine clinic’s published hours do not establish round-the-clock emergency coverage. For a planned appointment, confirm current services and payment requirements with the facility. A Nassau hospital phone number is not evidence of an Exuma ambulance base. Ask the treating team about any required transfer rather than arranging travel from an unverified directory description.
