What are healthcare services like in Jamaica?
We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Jamaica. They wrote...
"Healthcare services in Jamaica are widely available, with a network of public hospitals, private hospitals, private medical clinics and a free healthcare system through the Ministry of Health. There is also a strong focus on preventative healthcare and public health programmes, such as the National HIV/AIDS Programme and National Nutrition Programme, as well as primary healthcare initiatives, including primary care facilities and wellness centres. In addition, Jamaica has a highly qualified and internationally recognised medical workforce with strong national and international healthcare accreditation," commented one expat who made the move to Jamaica.
