Abstract

AbstractThis chapter explores the role of colonialism as it may come to translate into policy legacy from empire to colony post-independence in social policies. Specifically, we examine the role of British colonialism and its impact on the Jamaican healthcare system, casting an eye to the long-term policy conditions introduced by years of foreign rule. We pose the question: How did British colonialism impact the nature of choices and challenges confronting Jamaican policymakers as they grappled with a national response to healthcare post-independence? To answer this, we follow developments across two periods: the colonial, which concluded in 1962, and the post-colonial periods, which marked the introduction of a state-led healthcare system. Our study concludes by reflecting on the consequences of colonialism and its legacy on the healthcare policy trajectory in Jamaica.
