The site has on-site primary healthcare delivered throughout the day by a local healthcare provider during normal working hours Monday to Friday. The medical centre is open for 12 hours on arrival days.

This is run by healthcare professionals, a doctor, nurse practitioners, and health care assistants, who offer systematic heath assessments and are able to prescribe medication.
