Health standards have greatly improved throughout the Bahamas in recent years. New hospitals and healthcare facilities have opened in Nassau and Grand Bahama. '''These healthcare facilities have also lowered the price of care for their residents. In comparison to the United States, the cost of a procedure in the Bahamas is about 30-40% less.''' Still, there are high levels of health and economic inequality and most of the population are unable to obtain private health insurance.

The National Health Insurance program was established in 2017. This program gives anyone who is a resident of the Bahamas healthcare for no cost up front when receiving the service. There are about 42,000 Bahamians which is about 10% of the population, that have enrolled, but membership is voluntary. The Out Islands are serviced by small government clinics. There are 80 primary care providers, including 4 private labs which provides care across New Providence, Grand Bahama, Abaco and Exuma.
