AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Heart Health Watch: Interventional cardiologist Dr Victor Elliott warns that heart disease and stroke remain major killers in Jamaica, urging annual check-ups, blood pressure monitoring, cholesterol control, and healthier diets and exercise. Cardiac Recovery Spotlight: Deputy Prime Minister Dr Horace Chang reflects on bypass surgery after routine exams found three blocked arteries—no symptoms at first—highlighting how early detection can save lives. Women’s Health: A gynaecology piece tackles recurrent vaginal infections, stressing the need to rebalance vaginal flora and rethink “one-size-fits-all” treatment for persistent cases. Hospital Innovation: May Pen Hospital is advancing minimally invasive gynaecologic surgery, supported by training and equipment upgrades to expand safer, less invasive care. Cancer Support Push: Jamaica Cancer Society’s Relay For Life drive aims to fund a new mammography machine, underlining the role of early screening and stronger support services. Community Wellness: DBJ hosts a staff wellness fair with health checks and a cook-off to encourage better food choices. Public Health in Action: Jamaica Motorcyclists Association and JCF stage a Bikers’ Blood Drive at the National Chest Hospital, aiming to top last year’s blood collection. Energy & Health Risk: After an islandwide blackout, the OUR requests a report from JPS on the cause and corrective steps, while opposition calls for transparency—important for healthcare continuity.
