Healthcare

Healthcare infrastructure on Amini is primarily managed by the Lakshadweep Union Territory administration. The island is served by a Government Primary Health Center (PHC) and a community hospital, which provide essential medical services, maternity care, and basic emergency treatments. For specialized or critical care, patients are typically transferred via helicopter or ship to the Indira Gandhi Hospital in the capital, Kavaratti, or airlifted to multi-specialty hospitals on the mainland in Kochi, Kerala. There are small, locally run pharmacies that stock standard medicines for everyday needs.
