JULY 6, 2022: Think tank leader and economist Dr Damien King, who has been appointed to conduct a review of healthcare financing in Jamaica, is expected to deliver his report in June 2023.
King, who has received a draft of the terms of reference, said the right time to conduct such a review had passed decades ago.
Had it been done earlier, Jamaica would have been much better prepared to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, said King, executive director of the Caribbean Policy Research Institute.
King told a Gleaner Editors’ Forum on Tuesday that the report will identify the most efficient model to deliver basic, nearly universal health coverage.
