    Private health service is provided through Private GPs, but hospital services are limited to Government owned smaller hospitals in some islands, and the main base hospital in Rarotonga which is the only referral hospital. There are 108 nurses in the Cook Islands (this includes unregulated care workers) and 25 doctors.
