Are you contending that the smaller cities will have better health care than the Capital? I can certainly investigate that next month.
You are telling rather interesting things. There must be medical insurance which is covering expenses of a foreigner visiting a country. You have different status comparing with that of the natives for whom medical care is free.
Sure there is difference in quality and the volume as all over the world. I do not understand why you are wondering as to this point.
Then, keep in mind that they are a small island country whose economical potential is restricted by medicines, tourism, tobacco, rum and raw sugar and they live at their own.
