I am writing this post in hopes that people will help lobby for the cause of another ambulance in Negril. I have been traveling to Negril for the past 20 years and I am very much in love with the island of Jamaica. This past trip, however, was a nightmare. I am the daughter of the woman who suffered a heart attack on the Negril Beach Club property. The lack of response by any medical professionals is heartbreaking to me. Not just because of the loss of my mother, but because the Jamaican people deserve better too. There were over 15 people who called the ambulance, both locals and tourists. No response service EVER showed up. The attempts by myself, my fiancé and the guests proved insufficient. The police didn't even show up until close to an hour after she had passed, and then there was a several hour wait for a coroner as her body lie on a pool chair in the parking lot. This is unacceptable. EVERYBODY deserves a chance and I would like to see better for Jamaica and my Jamaican friends who are family to me. If anyone is willing to help me with this cause, I would be forever grateful. Things like this should not happen, and I plan to make it a mission that nobody else has to go through what we did and are still going through.
