As a foreigner living in Kingston, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Kingston if they have access to public healthcare in Kingston. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in Kingston, you will have access to public healthcare. However, the public healthcare system in Jamaica is known to be underfunded and overcrowded, which may result in long waiting times and limited availability of certain treatments or medications. The quality of care in public hospitals and clinics can vary, and some facilities may not be up to the standards you may be accustomed to in your home country. It is recommended that foreigners living in Jamaica consider obtaining private health insurance to access private healthcare facilities, which generally offer a higher standard of care and shorter waiting times," explained one expat living in Kingston, Jamaica.
