AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Chronic Disease Care Upgrade: Jamaica’s Chronic Care Connect (CCC) Pilot Programme and the Jamaica Moves app were officially launched to help patients track activity and key health indicators like blood pressure, blood sugar and weight, with a one-year pilot for about 600 volunteers across six health centres. Health System Accountability: Health Minister Dr. Christopher Tufton ordered immediate action for regional health authorities and UHWI after concerns from medical interns, including a 72-hour physical audit of intern accommodation and interim fixes for any safety, sanitation or structural issues. Public Healthcare Pressure: St James Ministers’ Fraternal raised fresh alarms about long waits, resource gaps and worsening suffering at Cornwall Regional Hospital, arguing the free health-care model may be becoming unsustainable without investment. Food & Health in Schools: The Healthy Caribbean Coalition launched a regional campaign with partners including the Heart Foundation of Jamaica and JYAN to push for removal of ultra-processed food and drink marketing from schools, targeting Jamaica and several other countries. Community Health Access: Persons with Disabilities were urged to register with the Jamaica Council for Persons with Disabilities (JCPD) to unlock benefits and support, including during emergencies and disasters.
