How are healthcare services Negril?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Negril, they replied:

"Healthcare services in Negril, are relatively limited compared to larger cities in the country. The town has a few small clinics and medical centers that provide basic healthcare services, such as general consultations, minor surgeries, and emergency care. These facilities are staffed by local doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who are trained to handle common illnesses and injuries. For more specialized care or advanced treatments, patients may need to travel to larger hospitals in nearby cities like Montego Bay or Kingston. Additionally, there are several pharmacies in Negril where residents and visitors can access prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs. It is also worth noting that private healthcare services, such as dental clinics and specialist doctors, are available in the area, but they may be more expensive than public healthcare options. Overall, while healthcare services in Negril are not as extensive as those in larger Jamaican cities, they are generally adequate for addressing the basic health needs of the local population and tourists," commented one expat who moved to Negril.
