Publisher's Synopsis
The health care system in Jamaica has always been one in which scholars, policy makers, health planners, health economists, health care professionals and practitioners, and health care users all have a vested interest. This book comes at an opportune time, as it sought to cull the literature on the Jamaican health sector, in such a way as to provide the reader with "insight" into the delivery of health care services to the Jamaican citizenry over the period from the seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries.
