AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Primary Care Upgrade: Bamboo Community Health Centre in St. Ann has reopened after a $68.1M upgrade funded by the National Health Fund and the North East Regional Health Authority, adding services like oral health assessments, antenatal and postnatal clinics, nutrition services, child health clinics, curative care and home visits, with a standby generator planned. Water & Public Health Resilience: Minister of Water Matthew Samuda hit back at Opposition claims that NWC is too dependent on JPS, saying resilience work is already underway after a JPS grid shutdown left thousands without water and renewed calls for solar-powered backup. Community Health & Wellness: Rotary Club donated $3M paediatric equipment to Black River Hospital, while a Men of Color Health Summit by Kaiser Permanente and others continued pushing preventive care and health access. Food & Nutrition Focus: Caribbean noncommunicable disease experts and nutritionists strategised on sodium reduction and policies to curb industrially produced trans fats, as Jamaica and the region face ongoing diet-related health burdens. Health in the News Cycle: Heart disease remains among Jamaica’s biggest killers, cardiologists are urging screening and symptom awareness, and coverage also highlighted recurrent vaginal infections and advances in minimally invasive gynaecologic surgery at May Pen Hospital. Safety & Health Impacts: Residents protested after a fatal police shooting in Jones Town, underscoring how violence and trauma ripple into community wellbeing.
