AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Cybersecurity & NHF: Jamaica’s National Health Fund says it’s investigating a reported hacker threat after claims of access to some client medication and beneficiary data, while the opposition is pushing for a dedicated cybersecurity law this year. Caregiving Support: Health Minister Dr Christopher Tufton proposes a national census of unpaid caregivers (about 150,000 not on payroll) to build a database and better support older adults under the CARE agenda. Food Safety in Hurricanes: Jamaicans are urged to follow WHO guidance on safe storage of leftovers and animal-origin foods during hurricane season, especially when cold storage may fail. Blood Donation Drive: SERHA calls for regular voluntary blood donors ahead of World Blood Donor Day, with upcoming drives at Spanish Town Hospital (June 20) and Victoria Jubilee Hospital (July 1). Hospital Conditions: Relatives of a man who died at Cornwall Regional Hospital’s A&E say he spent 22 hours on a chair and are calling for a post-mortem, highlighting ongoing bed-space strain. Regional Public Health Capacity: CARPHA trained 18 people across 15 member states on safely transporting infectious substances and diagnostic specimens to strengthen lab and pandemic preparedness. Sugar Reduction for Manufacturers: Caribbean Flavours and Fragrances supports local firms reformulating drinks to cut sugar under Jamaica’s sugar tax regime without losing taste. 5G Rollout: Flow officially launched Jamaica’s first 5G network, with coverage already reaching about 70% of customers in major areas, though some users may need compatible phones/SIMs.
