BHB Public Advisory: Hyperbaric chamber opens to limited service

Tuesday 8 September 2026: Bermuda Hospitals Board (BHB) has re-opened its hyperbaric unit for limited procedures.

The hyperbaric chamber has two compressors. Only one is operating currently. This has been certified as safe to run emergency service for divers who may need it.

Unfortunately, use of the chamber for wound care cannot resume at this time.

BHB continues to address the issue but wishes to let the public know that it could be several weeks before chamber returns to full service and is certified as safe to use again.

BHB apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.
