People usually associate Jamaica with two things,constant sunshine and the constant tunes of reggae music. This might be rooted in reality to some extent, but limiting the experience of living in Jamaica to just this would be foolish! Depending on your location in Jamaica, the healthcare facilities available to you might be somewhat limited in terms of quantity. While every parish has at least one small hospital, comprehensive emergency care is only available in the cities of Kingston and Montego Bay. Outside of the larger cities or in remote parts of the country, emergency services are only available in both limited quality and quantity. In addition,  there are about three dozen hospitals and clinics on the island. Services are offered free of charge to all citizens and residents. However, they also are frequently described as unreliable and over crowed.

Better care is available but they are from private healthcare institutions with better medical care and better environment, but obviously come at a price. Nonetheless, anyone who can afford treatment in private hospitals and/or private health insurance usually opts for it. The local population is usually unable to pay for private healthcare and health insurance out of their own pocket.
