In September 1951, the first issue of the West Indian Medical Journal was published. Its immediate predecessor was the Jamaica Medical Review which came into being through the hard work and dedication of a group of prominent local surgeons and physicians. Their stated primary aim was "the encouragement of the medical profession in the British West Indies to record individual experiences and researches considered of value no less to their colleagues in the Caribbean and elsewhere than to themselves for subsequent reference".
