Health Minister Fenton Ferguson urged the private sector to join government strategies to promote health tourism, according to official sources.

“My view is to turn Jamaica into a center of health reference for the Caribbean and to attain this the provate sector will have to contribute by offering services to broaden the scope and depth of the offer in this sector,” said Ferguson in a communique.

He recalled that Jamaica has good healthprofessionals, as well as a good development of the tourism sector, backed by good transport connections, making health care easier and at a lower price than that offered in other countries around the world.

He also considered that the government/private sector alliance, supported by the Development Bank of Jamaica, might mean opportunities for the creation of new businesses or the expansion of existing operations.

According to experts, Jamaica is one of the favorite places of visitors from around the world that look for health tourism, lasure and adventure sports.
