AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Sewage Overhaul: Jamaica’s Corporate Area wastewater woes are set for a major fix, with Water Minister Matthew Samuda saying US$200 million will fund a full renovation of failing sewer lines under NaRRA. Hospital Capacity: Montego Bay says it’s close to building extra space to house “social cases” and ease pressure on Cornwall Regional Hospital, targeting more than 50 beds. Care Access & Safety: The Judiciary clarified that motorists held during Traffic Ticket Public Days at the National Arena were placed in a designated changing room with bathroom access and a nearby medical team, after reports of bathroom detention. Health Supply Disruption: Cuba’s provincial hospital says 3.5 million syringes and needles are stuck at Kingston port after shipping services were suspended, raising concerns for the island’s health system. Community Health & Prevention: Students in St. Ann received fire-safety and drug-misuse prevention training through a school initiative with NCDA and the Jamaica Fire Brigade. Livestock & Zoonotic Risk: RADA urged farmers to protect animals from heat stress with proper hydration and potable water practices. Local Health Business: Image Plus says its expanded diagnostic imaging network grew after acquiring island radiology, boosting patient volumes and making it Jamaica’s largest imaging provider. Public Health Governance: A public-private push is underway to improve coordination in New Kingston, bringing together agencies, law enforcement, and mental health professionals.
