Port Vila Central Hospital is a rural general hospital in Efate, Vanuatu, near the capital of Port Vila. Situated on a hillside overlooking the lagoon, it has over 200 beds and 6 full-time doctors, with four wards—medical, surgical, paediatric and maternity.[1]

In 2014, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) through the Government of Japan handed over to the Government and people of Vanuatu a newly extended hospital building that consists of a General Out Patients (GOPD), Emergency Department, Laboratory Department, Radiology Department and a new theater.[2]

In March 2015, Australian rescue teams were called in to remove of 100 kilograms of asbestos from the hospital after Vanuatu was struck by Tropical Cyclone Pam.[3]
