"As a foreigner living in Falmouth, you will have access to public healthcare. However, the public healthcare system in Jamaica may not be as advanced or efficient as you might be used to in your home country. Public hospitals and clinics can be crowded, and waiting times for appointments and treatments can be long. Additionally, the quality of care and availability of specialized treatments may be limited in public facilities. It is recommended that foreigners consider obtaining private health insurance to access private healthcare facilities, which generally offer better quality care and shorter waiting times," explained one expat living in Falmouth, Jamaica.
