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.
