Security and Health
The Grenada medical school is famous for a number of reasons. Most will remember it as the scene of "Operation Urgent Fury" in 1983, in which several thousand US Marines descended on the island to evacuate American students studying at the Grenada medical school, part of St. George's University, during an unstable political period in Grenada. Those days have past and today the Grenada medical school is known for providing the island with extremely qualified professionals in the medical field. The Grenada medical school lures local residents as well as students from distinguished schools across the globe, many of whom end up working in one of five public hospitals, private hospitals, and private clinics located across the island.
Visitors to Grenada have just a few things to beware of while vacationing here. The biggest health concern on Grenada involves the powerful tropical sun that beats down daily. Proper protection, including sunscreen and avoiding long hours in the sun, are suggested in order to prevent sunburn and sunstroke. In terms of security, Grenada is afflicted with the same minor issues present on most Caribbean island. Travelers should take logical precautions like keeping valuables in view at all times and avoiding deserted streets or beaches at night.
