Question
Hi:
How far is it from the East end of Grand Cayman(The Cayman Castle) to Georgetown Memorial Hospital.  How long would it take Paramedics to drive on a 911 call.  I am going there with my family and have Congestive Heart Failure and am worried if my lungs fill with fluid as they have done twice, I almost died the last time, fortunately the paramedices were five minutes away.
Thank you.

Unfortunately I don't think I can answer this.  The hospital is about 30 minutes away.  There is a fire station not far away, but I don't know if they also have an ambulance/paramedics stationed there.  

You can contact the Health Service through their website at http://www.gov.ky/hit  The phone number of the hospital is (345) 949-4234 or (345) 949-8600

There is an overview of the medical services available in Cayman at http://www.caymanislands.co.uk/services/medical.asp

Hope this helps you find your answer.
Regards
