We have been visiting Jamaica since the late 80's and have no current plans to stop vacationing there. We have seen many changes over that time, both good and bad (like any other growing vacation destination). But one area that people keep asking me about is the situation regarding medical care, particularly serious injury or illness if you are in Negril. While I would not avoid Sav La Mar for minor things, it would not really suffice in a serious or emergency situation. For a long time I kept the phone number of MoBay Hope Medical (at the Half Moon Shop area in MoBay) because from talking to many I had come to believe it might be the best option. Now, I have been told that it is no longer in operation. With stories of people at resorts facing huge bills for minor things when a doctor is summoned to their resort for treatment I don't know what the best options are anymore. These questions are becoming more important for me, and others among the aging travel population. Negril would do well to meet this need sooner rather than later because I already know many people who don't travel to Jamaica on vacation anymore for fear of the poor options of medical care in the event of an emergency or serious illness.
Does anyone know if MoBay Hope is actually gone? Their reviews were getting really bad anyway.

Does anyone know the status of the private hospital project that seems to have stalled? http://negrilbeachbungalows.com/ For some reason this is the website for the project.

What are the best options available from Negril now, and what is the best way to get to them if you have an emergency?

Thanks for any help on this!
