Following the temporary closure of St Helena Airport on Friday 6 February, Gold Command will continue to meet daily to coordinate a resolution. We understand the uncertainty this situation brings to residents and visitors alike, and we remain committed to providing updates as the situation evolves.
Medical Continuity and Overseas Treatment
The Health and Social Care Portfolio is working closely with patients scheduled for overseas medical referrals. Individuals currently awaiting overseas medical treatment will receive ongoing contact and regular updates regarding their specific travel plans and appointments.
Support for Visitors on Island
We wish to reassure all tourists and visitors that their health remains a priority. If your prescribed medication is depleted as a result of the flight delays, and you require essential medication please note the following:
- Availability: Prescribed medications may be purchased at the Jamestown Hospital Pharmacy during normal opening hours.
- Requirement: A valid prescription is required. Visitors are encouraged to check their supplies and contact the Pharmacy early to avoid any interruption to their treatment.
For pharmacy assistance or general health-related questions, please contact Jamestown Hospital at 22500 during normal opening hours.
