AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Water & Public Health: Opposition says Friday’s islandwide blackout left about 65,000 NWC customers without water, showing the sector’s “dangerously dependent” reliance on the JPS grid; calls are growing for solar/renewables and backup for critical water treatment to prevent health risks during disasters. NCD Prevention: PAHO/WHO convened nutritionists, NCD focal points and legal drafters across eight Caribbean countries in Barbados to push sodium reduction targets and eliminate industrially produced trans fats, warning most sodium comes from processed foods. Maternal Health Support: Women’s Centre of Jamaica Foundation received a $4.5M boost from the Run for Mom 5K to strengthen services for adolescent mothers, supporting education and care for children living with HIV and severe disabilities. Paediatric Care Boost: Rotary Club of St. Andrew North donated $3M in paediatric equipment to Black River Hospital, including an infant incubator and phototherapy lamp. Food Safety: St. Thomas veterinary public health officials urged consumers to buy meat only from approved, inspected sources with government stamps. Local Health & Safety: Heart disease remains a major killer, while reports also highlight injuries and deaths from accidents and violence across parishes.
