Why Choose Antigua?
Also known as "Wadadli" (translated to mean "our own") in the native Amerindian language, Antigua is an island in the West Indies Caribbean region and is the main island of the country of Antigua and Barbuda. The island economy relies mainly on tourism, with agriculture serving the domestic market. Home to a growing number of medical schools and the healthcare industry, the University of Health Sciences Antigua and the American University of Antigua College of Medicine are responsible for teaching a growing number of aspiring doctors, which have led to a boom in medical tourism.
