Bustamante Hospital               for Children (BHC)

The Bustamante Hospital for Children (BHC) has the distinction of being the only specialist paediatric hospital in the English-speaking Caribbean. With a bed capacity of 279, this remarkable institution caters to patients from birth to 12 years, providing a comprehensive range of diagnostic, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and ambulatory services in paediatric medical and surgical specialties and sub-specialties.

​

The hospital caters to patients not only from across Jamaica but also from other neighbouring Caribbean countries. The facility was formally a British Military Hospital but was given to the Jamaican Government as a "good will" gesture upon the achievement of Jamaica’s independence on November 6, 1962.
