AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Hurricane recovery: The Ministry of Health and Wellness is finalising costings for renovations to hurricane-damaged health centres, prioritising about 100 facilities across St Elizabeth, Trelawny, Hanover, Westmoreland and St James, with engineers already assessing sites and work expected to move into substantial renovations soon. Mosquito control: Westmoreland reported a steady decline in Aedes breeding, with the Aedes index falling from 10.4% in April to 9.6% in May and dropping further by end of June, while officials urged residents to keep up “search and destroy” efforts to prevent dengue and other mosquito-borne illnesses. Patient safety in schools: The Ministry of Education reminded school administrators to use only the approved standardised student medical report form and to keep immunisation records up to date, warning against altering clinical requirements. Workforce pipeline: HEART/NSTA Trust and Sandals Corporate University launched the Hospitality Apprenticeship Programme, targeting 88 young Jamaicans for structured training and placements at Sandals resorts. Community health infrastructure: Portmore Resilience Park in Portmore is scheduled for completion later this year, with sports, wellness and recreation facilities planned for residents. Heart health in the spotlight: Reggae singer Fantan Mojah, 49, died at UHWI after complications linked to a heart condition, with reports of serious breathing issues and rapid deterioration. Public health logistics: A shipping disruption is stranding medical supplies for Cuba in Kingston after a U.S. executive order led CMA CGM to suspend shipments to Cuba.
