Jamaica’s health care has had a weak history, however has been improving and continuing to improve. Part of this is from the fact that close to half of the healthcare workers from the area are leaving for the better opportunities that are offered elsewhere.^[1] The other cause comes from Jamaica’s history. Jamaica’s weak healthcare started back when Jamaica was still a colony that depended on slaves, and has been slowly improving ever since. Covid-19 and sickle cell have impacted Jamaica heavily, but their statistics continue to improve. Jamaica has gotten help from various countries and corporations to improve their healthcare system.
