Healthcare in Agatti is primarily managed by government-run facilities designed to cater to the island's small population and basic medical needs.
* **Rajiv Gandhi Specialty Hospital:** The main healthcare center on the island, providing basic medical care, outpatient services, and emergency first aid. * **Primary Health Centers (PHCs):** Smaller clinics manage routine health checkups, immunizations, and maternal care. * **Medical Evacuation:** Because Agatti lacks advanced tertiary care and specialized surgical facilities, critical patients and those requiring complex treatments are typically evacuated by helicopter or flight to mainland hospitals in Kochi, Kerala. Pharmacies on the island are largely attached to government clinics, dispensing essential medicines.
