Health City Cayman Islands, established in 2014, marks its 10th anniversary as a premier healthcare institution in the Caribbean. Founded by renowned cardiac surgeon Dr. Devi Shetty, this JCI-accredited hospital has achieved remarkable milestones in providing exceptional medical services at cost-effective rates. Over the last decade, Health City has served patients from over 70 countries, offering advanced facilities, a skilled medical team, and notably low infection rates.
The hospital excels in various specialties, including cancer treatment, cardiology, orthopedics, neurology, and gastroenterology. It has earned the distinction of being the first Caribbean hospital to achieve JCI Enterprise Accreditation, demonstrating its commitment to healthcare excellence. Health City is the first English-speaking institution in the Caribbean to perform the innovative TAVR procedure and offers the unique Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) device implantation for heart failure treatment.
Health City has made significant advancements in cardiac care, pioneering the TAVR procedure and achieving a remarkable record of zero deaths or reinterventions in elective coronary bypass surgeries over the last decade. The facility has established itself as the Caribbean’s first regional center for advanced life support with ECMO and provides artificial hearts and LVAD devices for severe heart failure patients.
In the field of neurosurgery, Health City has performed the first awake craniotomy in the English-speaking Caribbean, a groundbreaking procedure where brain surgery is performed while the patient remains conscious. The hospital has also introduced limb lengthening surgery to the region, expanding its orthopedic capabilities.
Health City’s commitment to innovation extends to surgical technology. The acquisition of the Smith+Nephew INTELLIO Connected Tower Solution in 2022 enhances orthopedic joint repair and replacement surgeries with 4K visualization technology.
Corporate social responsibility is integral to Health City’s ethos. Since 2016, the hospital has conducted over 1,000 charitable surgeries, including complex procedures for children from various countries. Strategic partnerships, such as those with Doctors Hospital Bahamas and OceanMed, have strengthened its service offerings.
Health City has engaged over 40,000 students through educational initiatives, fostering future healthcare professionals. Looking ahead, the hospital plans to address healthcare gaps, including heart transplant services, and will inaugurate its second hospital at Camana Bay this summer. The new facility will feature a neonatal intensive care unit, an emergency pavilion with a critical care unit, a kidney transplant unit, robotic surgery, and a radiotherapy center.
Health City Cayman Islands stands as a testament to the transformative power of healthcare innovation in the Caribbean. Under the leadership of Dr. Devi Shetty, the hospital continues to raise the bar for medical excellence, delivering world-class care and improving the lives of countless individuals.
