Healthcare

Havelock Island (officially Swaraj Dweep) has basic medical facilities designed for primary care and minor emergencies, given its remote location.

* **Primary Health Center (PHC)**: Located in the main village area (Shyam Nagar/Govind Nagar), the PHC provides essential medical services, first aid, and basic diagnostic facilities. * **Specialized Care**: For serious medical emergencies, surgical needs, or advanced trauma, patients must be evacuated via helicopter or fast boat to the G.B. Pant Hospital in Port Blair. * **Pharmacies**: A few local chemists operate near Market No. 3. However, supplies can be limited, and visitors are strongly advised to bring ample supplies of any specialized or prescription medications from the mainland.
