About Us

The Canadian Jamaican Medical Assistance Society was created due to the perceived need of the countries of the Caribbean needing better quality healthcare.

The Canadian Jamaican Medical Assistance Society was incorporated in 1992 under the British Columbia Society Act to assist hospitals in the Caribbean providing equipment, supplies and volunteer personnel. The “Purposes” of the CJMAS as set out in the constitution were amended on July 12, 1997 to include “Educational” assistance.
