Jamaica is a popular travel destination with generally good healthcare in major tourist areas. However, medical care may be limited in rural regions. The CDC recommends routine vaccinations, hepatitis A/B, and precautions against mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue and chikungunya. Food and water safety is important, and travelers should take care with sun exposure and hydration in the tropical climate.
