NEGRIL, WESTMORELAND, JAMAICA — For months, one of Jamaica’s most popular resort destinations has operated without a fully operational emergency ambulance, leaving both visiting tourists and local residents at severe medical risk. Now, after a string of dangerous gaps in emergency care that culminated in a recent tragic tourist death, official confirmation has come that a restored ambulance is expected to be back in service by the end of this week. The promise was made by Dr. Carey Wallace, Executive Director of the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF), the public body that stepped in to fund repairs after local business leaders sounded the alarm over the public safety crisis.
