AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Ebola Preparedness: Jamaica says it remains Ebola-free, but the Health Ministry has stepped up port-of-entry surveillance, border coordination, front-line training, and infection prevention checks after the DRC outbreak; nine travellers with recent travel links are under mandatory self-quarantine with no symptoms reported. NHF Cybersecurity: The National Health Fund says services are unaffected after a reported cyber incident; hackers claim access to sensitive beneficiary and medication data, and the matter has been referred to the Office of the Information Commissioner and MOCA while security controls are being reinforced. Caregiver Support: Health Minister 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. Community Health & Prevention: Tufton also announced “Jamaica Moves Fit Stops” for July 25, a scavenger-style fitness event aimed at tackling NCDs through preventive care and healthy living. Heart Care Milestone: Chain of Hope marks 30 years in Jamaica with a medical mission at Bustamante Hospital for Children, planning open-heart surgeries for 8–10 children. Nutrition After Hurricane Melissa: Golden Krust’s “Feeding Futures” initiative is funding canteen rebuilds and nutrition support for seven schools across western Jamaica. Local Health System Capacity: CDEMA highlights lessons from Hurricane Melissa, including the need for stronger emergency communications and resilient information systems, alongside regional medical support deployments. Digital Health in the Region: Adroit Infosystems spotlighted practical EHR and clinic workflow digitisation at a Caribbean family doctor symposium in Trinidad.
