"Healthcare services in Runaway Bay, are relatively limited due to its small size and rural location. The nearest hospitals and medical facilities are located in St. Ann's Bay, which is approximately 16 miles away. These facilities offer basic medical care, including emergency services, general medicine, and maternity care. However, for more specialized treatments or advanced medical care, patients may need to travel to larger cities like Kingston or Montego Bay. There are also a few private clinics and pharmacies in the area, providing basic healthcare services and medications. It is important for visitors to have travel insurance and be prepared to seek medical care in larger cities if necessary," remarked another expat who made the move to Runaway Bay, Jamaica.
