Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Falmouth?

"Healthcare and health insurance in Falmouth can be considered expensive, especially for those with limited financial resources. Public healthcare facilities may be overcrowded and underfunded, leading to long wait times and limited access to specialized care. Private healthcare facilities, on the other hand, offer better quality services but at a higher cost. Health insurance is not mandatory in Jamaica, and many individuals may not be able to afford comprehensive coverage. As a result, out-of-pocket expenses for medical treatments can be quite high for those without insurance. Additionally, the cost of medications and medical supplies can also be expensive, further adding to the financial burden of healthcare in Falmouth," said another expat in Falmouth, Jamaica.
