There is apparently a recent problem with the medical services at some of the resorts who use a contractor who charges unbelievable high prices at times for simple services. My long time
plan when in Jamaica if I (or someone with me) had a serious illness or injury was to get a taxi and head for MoBay Hope Medical in MoBay (Half Moon shopping area), but that same company that has been called out by lots of people who were overcharged now operates that same clinic. We did not have a confidence-inspiring experience at the clinic at Sav, my one trip to Cornwall with an injured friend was far less than ideal. Someone in the other thread about this mentioned that they use reliable independent doctors in the Negril area but I've never been able to find out who they are, how to contact them, or what the best and most reliable medical options are in case a need arises. I know people who have been vacationing in Negril even longer than I have and some of them have simply felt they could no longer vacation there as their medical situation has gotten more complicated over the years.

What I wish I could get from some of you experts is this.... Assume you are in Negril on vacation and have a serious medical issue (illness or injury)... what do YOU do? What do you think the best options are for reliable medical treatment if something serious happens?

Thanks very much!
www.j.mp/comfortsJA I come and provide nursing service to care for you and if need be, advise you what you need OR and where to go. I have MANY physicians I collaborate with in and outside of Negril. They agreed to be available for my business, and even this changes day to day and I research alternative plans as needed!!
I can asses who is available where, what services you need by consulting with many area physicians and assist you threw the process by traveling with you or getting transport for you. This IS NOT an easy process because services/physicians vary day to day and can be tricky and delay what you need...I will assist you through it. Physicians are overwhelmed in office and some won't come out at night so i am the place to start. No answers where given to you probably because there ISN'T one! Every day is different. PreRegister so I know where you are and something about you BEFORE you have a healthcare urgent need! I cannot stress enough how important it is to have an advocate on your side to do triage nursing services OR get you what you need in Negril! You never know what services are available or who is or isn't in office...until the day(or night) comes and you need help. I will do my best to make a plan with you!!! Nurse Beth
