How are healthcare services in Montego Bay?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Montego Bay, they replied...

"Healthcare services in Montego Bay, consist of a mix of public and private facilities, offering a range of medical services to both locals and tourists. The Cornwall Regional Hospital is the main public hospital in the city, providing emergency care, general medicine, surgery, and specialized services such as obstetrics, gynecology, and pediatrics. There are also several smaller public clinics and health centers throughout Montego Bay, offering primary care services and basic medical treatments. In addition to public facilities, Montego Bay is home to a number of private hospitals and clinics, such as the Hospiten Montego Bay and the Montego Bay Hospital, which cater to patients seeking more specialized care or shorter waiting times. These private facilities often have modern equipment and well-trained staff, providing services such as diagnostics, dental care, and cosmetic surgery. Pharmacies are widely available throughout Montego Bay, with many offering over-the-counter medications and prescription services. Some pharmacies also provide basic medical consultations and vaccinations. Despite the availability of healthcare services in Montego Bay, the quality of care can vary, and resources may be limited in public facilities. As a result, some patients may choose to travel to the capital, Kingston, for more advanced treatments or seek care abroad. Additionally, it is important for visitors to have comprehensive travel health insurance, as medical costs can be high, particularly in private facilities," wrote a member who made the move to Montego Bay, Jamaica.
