Health and Wellness Minister, Dr. Christopher Tufton, has sought to assure that visitors to the country have been afforded healthcare services when the need arises.
His assurance comes in the wake of a recent travel advisory from the United States, which cited concern over inadequate medical services in Jamaica.
The advisory, which has been updated to a level 3, warns citizens to reconsider travel to Jamaica.
The U.S. noted that public hospitals in Jamaica are under-resourced and cannot always provide high-level or specialized care.
It also urged Americans to get insurance before traveling to the island.
