=== Health ===
Five Regional Health Authorities (RHAs) deliver public health care services to the people of Trinidad and Tobago. RHAs are autonomous bodies that own and operate health facilities in their respective regions. The Port of Spain municipality is served by the North West Regional Health Authority (NWRHA).
The NWRHA administers and manages the [[Port of Spain General Hospital]], St. Ann's Psychiatric Hospital, St. James Medical Complex and 16 health centres that serve a catchment area of 500,000 people.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.health.gov.tt/sitepages/default.aspx?id=50 |title=Ministry of Health Trinidad and Tobago website: NWRHA |publisher=Health.gov.tt |access-date=26 June 2010 |archive-date=7 October 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101007152058/http://health.gov.tt/sitepages/default.aspx?id=50 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The Port of Spain General Hospital is one of the major trauma centres in the nation and in the Southern Caribbean.

The demand for speedy quality health service has led to the establishment of private hospitals. The major ones are:
* Westshore Medical Centre, Cocorite
* St. Clair Medical Centre, St. Clair
* The Seventh-day Adventist Community Hospital, Cocorite

In the greater Port of Spain area, the public and fully state-funded Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, run by the North Central RHA, is also a major provider of medical services. It includes the Wendy Fitzwilliam Children's Ward and the Mt. Hope Women's Hospital.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.health.gov.tt/sitepages/default.aspx?id=89 |title=Ministry of Health Trinidad and Tobago website: NCRHA |publisher=Health.gov.tt |access-date=26 June 2010 |archive-date=7 October 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101007170135/http://health.gov.tt/sitepages/default.aspx?id=89 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
