- About us:
The Ministry of Health & Wellness (MOH&W) is the authority on Health Services within Jamaica and is directly responsible for the Public Health Care Systems (PHC System) in the island. Health Services are structured into three main levels, Central, Regional and Parish. The Central Level is directly responsible for governance, policy, monitoring and evaluation. The Regional Health Authorities, born out of the National Health Service Act in 1997 and the Government of Jamaica’s Health Reform Programme which saw the decentralizing of health service delivery, is directly responsible for activities at the Regional and Parish Levels. Under decentralization, the management of delivery of health services shifted from central government (MOH&W) to four semi-autonomous bodies – the Regional Health Authorities (RHA). Jamaica’s health system comprises a central body (Ministry of Health & Wellness), four Regional Health Authorities (RHAs), related Agencies/organizations, and private health facilities and diagnostic centers.
The Ministry of Health and Wellness governance structure comprises two broad areas: – administrative and technical services. The Permanent Secretary is responsible for the administrative services and the Chief Medical Officer the technical services. The health system offers primary, secondary, and tertiary care. Primary care is delivered through a network of 316 health centers. Simultaneously, secondary and tertiary care is offered through 24 hospitals (including the quasi- government, teaching hospital of the University of the West Indies) and has a combined capacity of 4,802 beds. Hospital inpatient services within the public system is offered to the population through 18 general and 6 specialist hospitals. There are also four community hospitals that offers mainly maternity, child health and/or curative services. Public sector hospitals accounts for over 95% of hospital based care.
The Ministry of Health & Wellness is mandated to carry out all functions for health outlined in the National Disaster Plan, and as directed by the National Disaster Committee (NDC) and Executive (NDE), and must ensure that all activities for health are implemented with efficiency for emergency and routine medical and health care service, including public and international health.
