Jamaica Tours, Guides and Vacations

I have written about the fact you cannot find a decent pharmacy in negril and it remains true. There are actually two pharmacies in Negril but both of them are very small and stock only a limited number of items. The selection in both pharmacies combined is not as nice as the range of health and beauth products available at Fontana Pharmacy in Sav La Mar.

Sav as it is know to most locals is actually Savannah La Mar and the capital of Westmoreland Parish. Here you will find much better shopping chioces than those in Negril. Food and medicine prices at any of the grocers in Negril are substantially higher than what you find at any of the stores in Sav and the true is same for basic medical care.

I have used Fontana Pharmacy for everything from aspirin and Tylenol to filling prescriptions for paid medications and antibiotics as well. They a have a great selection of wound care products such as bandages, tape and ointments for just about everything. They have never not had anything I needed and I usually end up grabbing something extra from the extra items they stock including stationary, toys candy and more.

If you need a pharmacy in Negril for something simple you should try Negril Pharmacy in the Town Center but if you need something more than take a trip to Sav and you’ll find just about anything you need.

I answered some questions about medical care here in Jamaica and did a web search for help finding a listing of medical facilities in Jamaica and I came up with two great resources that I had to share here with everyone else.

The question I answered in the Jamaica forums was about having a baby in Jamaica but if you seek any kind of public or private medical facility in Jamaica you’ll want to take a look at these two websites.
