Port Antonio Mental Health Clinic

Public Clinic · Portland

Rating: 4 / 5

Community mental-health clinic at Port Antonio Hospital, Portland. Provides free outpatient services for a geographically isolated parish, with onward referral to UHWI or Bellevue for inpatient admission. Important in a part of Jamaica where private mental-health services are very limited. Most Jamaican mental-health services charge fees at the private-practice end and are free at the public end; sliding-scale options and NHF-subsidised medication for chronic mental illness can substantially lower out-of-pocket costs for clients who qualify.
