AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Food Safety & Public Health: Jamaica has heightened surveillance of imported iceberg lettuce, leafy vegetables and fruits from the US after a cyclospora outbreak, with tighter port-of-entry checks and reviews of FDA-recalled consignments. Health System Accountability: The Jamaica Civil Service Association backs the Health Ministry’s push for an accountability framework, but says more discussion is needed on how it will work in practice. Medical Workforce Conditions: The Jamaica Medical Doctors Association is urging Health Minister Dr. Christopher Tufton to retract what it calls a misleading statement about medical interns’ protest at UHWI, saying the issue was unsafe work schedules and poor rest facilities. Maternal Health Data: PIOJ reports Jamaica’s maternal mortality ratio was 150.3 per 100,000 live births in 2024, noting Hurricane Melissa disrupted maternal and child health services. Contraception Trends: PIOJ says male condoms remained the top family planning choice in 2025, making up 83.2% of distributions. Community Health & Safety: INDECOM is probing a fatal police shooting in St Catherine after a raid and alleged gun incident. Wellness Research: A review of 26 trials links hibiscus tea to dose-dependent improvements in blood pressure and other metabolic markers.
