AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Health System Upgrade: UHWI’s medical chief of staff, Dr Carl Bruce, says the hospital is in a major transformation phase, with 103,000+ procedures in 2025 and a projected 120,000 in 2026 as it modernises patient care and expands specialised services. Public Safety & Care Access: The Judiciary clarified how motorists were treated during Traffic Ticket Public Days, saying detained drivers who couldn’t pay immediately were held in a clean, hygienic area with bathroom access and a Ministry of Health medical team on standby. Medicinal Cannabis Integrity: State Minister Delano Seiveright launched the Cannabis Licensing Authority’s Special Cannabis Permit Road Tour, warning traditional cultivators and investors to verify information and avoid scams and fake promises. Youth Health Education: In St Ann, students at Golden Grove All-Age School received fire-safety training and guidance on preventing substance misuse, with Jamaica Fire Brigade support. Community Wellness & Food Security: Boston’s Mayor Michelle Wu expanded the Summer Eats programme to 62 meal locations, aiming to keep kids and teens fed with healthy free meals during school break. Local Health & Wellness Business: Image Plus says its acquisition-driven expansion has made it Jamaica’s largest diagnostic imaging provider, boosting quarterly revenue and imaging case volumes. Animal Health: RADA urged livestock owners to protect animals from heat stress by ensuring consistent access to potable, well-managed water.
