Jamaica’s Tourism Minister says investors are interested in establishing medical tourism facilities on the Island

Minister of Tourism and Entertainment Dr. Wykeham McNeill says several investors have indicated an interest in establishing facilities and undertaking services linked to medical tourism.
“There are a number of persons, who are approaching us, who want to build facilities where persons can come down and receive operations,” he disclosed.
“Discussions are already happening in terms of dentists as there are a lot of people, especially in the Diaspora, whose dentists are in Jamaica. They travel to Jamaica and get their teeth done and that is a form of tourism,” he said.
Dr. McNeill said his ministry has been involved in various projects geared at improving medical entities to facilitate areas of medical tourism.
