“The big thing that is going to happen for Cayman is not the American tourist. It is the medical tourist coming from other Caribbean and Central American countries. The main reason people travel is heart operations, cancer, this is a very major issue. The treatment lasts for months. It is not just the treatment costs, it is family staying in the U.S. for months. Loss of wages, separation from family. [There] is a huge psychological trauma involved in the process. We believe Cayman will emerge as the medical tourism destination for Central America and the Caribbean region.” – Dr. Devi Shetty, Founder, Health City Cayman Islands/ Narayana Health (Cayman Compass)
