Last update: 2 hours ago

UWI Expansion & Care Capacity: UWI says Mona and Western Jamaica campuses will undergo a major capital expansion over the next 3–4 years, including a planned 50-bed hospital in western Jamaica—aimed at modernising infrastructure and systems. Heart Surgery Fundraising Update: Jessica James, 28, is again seeking help for a second open-heart procedure at UHWI after severe tricuspid valve leakage and worsening right-ventricle enlargement were found on follow-up scans. Hospital Support Boost: Former ward of the state Branatic Neufville donated over $5M in medical beds and supplies to May Pen Hospital and Black River Hospital to strengthen patient care in the south. Family-Centred Hospital Care: Spanish Town Hospital launched the Family Caregivers Programme, bringing trained family caregivers into the care team to improve comfort, safety, and outcomes. Climate & Health Warning: A Lancet Countdown report flags a worsening climate-driven health crisis for small island states, citing heat, food insecurity, air quality and infectious disease risks. Road Safety Tragedy: A Trelawny crash at Bogue Gate has killed seven so far, renewing calls for urgent road-safety action. Human Rights Under Emergency Detention: Advocates warn the State could face serious consequences if a detainee held under a Preventive Detention Order dies in custody, citing health-care access concerns. Regional Humanitarian Aid: St Vincent and the Grenadines joined CARICOM partners in sending earthquake relief to Venezuela. Education & AI: The JTA urges Jamaica to develop a national AI policy for schools after CXC reforms to protect assessment integrity amid generative AI.
