I will continue to choose Negril over any other destination as long as I feel comfortable enough to travel in my advancing years.
I would rather be in Jamaica than anywhere else.
There are licensed medical doctors in Negril and throughout the Parishes.
In dire emergencies I want to be driven to the closest hospital and that would be Sav La Mar.
As far as medical insurance goes; I travel without it.
It's not cheap for people with blood pressure, diabetes, heart irregularities, or other increasingly common issues for people of 'a certain age'.
We've seen numerous issues in the media of people who buy travel insurance and are denied payment because of some 'pre-existing' medical issue that they forgot about or didn't know mattered on their insurance application. In fact, I think denials outweigh payouts by more than 60 percent. Don't quote me on that thought; I'm just relying on my increasingly bad (short term) memory. Puff puff, pass pass.
