Background and Context
Equality for All Foundation (EFAF) Jamaica Limited is the foremost organisation advocating for and working to improve the human rights situation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) persons in Jamaica. The organisation promotes social change by empowering the LGBTQ+ community and building tolerance for and acceptance of LGBTQ+ people to increase tolerance and create the foundation for policy and legislative reform. Access to respectful, equitable, and high-quality healthcare remains a challenge for LGBTQ+ individuals in Jamaica. Stigma, discrimination, limited provider knowledge, and structural barriers can negatively affect health outcomes and healthcare-seeking behaviours. An existing training curriculum for healthcare workers was previously developed to address these gaps. However, changes in national policies, global best practices, terminology, and emerging health priorities necessitate an update to ensure the curriculum remains relevant, evidence-based, culturally appropriate, and aligned with current human rights and public health standards.
