Firsts for the region

On April 11, 2025, a team led by Dr J. Geoffrey Liburd, Chief of Neurosurgery, performed the first lumbar (lower back) disc replacement in Jamaica and the English-speaking Caribbean. The patient was walking pain-free within two days.

In May 2024, Dr Roy McGregor performed a cobot-assisted laparoscopic, nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy at Andrews: a minimally invasive prostate cancer operation using a robotic arm the surgeon controls.

Planning your operation

Your surgeon books your operation with the hospital and tells you when to come in. Before the day, ask us for an estimate, confirm your insurance cover and pay your deposit.

On the day you’ll meet your anaesthetist, and the team will confirm your name, your operation and the site more than once. Those checks are deliberate.
