AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Accountability in Healthcare: Health Minister Dr. Christopher Tufton says an accountability framework will be signed this Friday with regional health authorities, targeting gaps in administrative performance and improving transparency and responsiveness, amid concerns about empathy and patient experience. Mental Health Demand: Bellevue Hospital CEO Suzette Buchanan reports a sustained rise in patients seeking mental health care since COVID-19, with disaster periods like Hurricane Melissa expected to push needs even higher. Caregiver Support: Tufton also floated a census to map and better support Jamaica’s estimated 150,000 underpaid caregivers, aiming to build a clearer database for planning and training. Maternal Care Boost: Victoria Jubilee Hospital is set to receive $32M for maternal and neonatal services, including new monitoring equipment to strengthen care. Local Health Supply Help: St. Jago Health Centre in St. Catherine received $5M in medical supplies from the diaspora charity Living Well Community Care Centre, supporting ongoing recovery after Hurricane Melissa. Wellness for Women: Jamaican wellness coach Denesha Bailey launched “My Healing Notes,” a Caribbean-focused app for women managing PMOS/PCOS with symptom tracking and practical lifestyle tools.
