AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Ebola Preparedness: Health Minister Dr Christopher Tufton says nine travellers with recent travel histories linked to Ebola-affected countries are under mandatory self-quarantine as a precaution; none show symptoms and Jamaica remains disease-free. Child Safety & Digital Health: Tufton also revealed a near-complete study on social media’s impact on Jamaicans, with a national survey planned to inform possible restrictions on social media access for children under 16. Data Privacy in Healthcare: Tufton confirmed hackers have contacted the National Health Fund (NHF) claiming access to clients’ medical information; the NHF has reported the threat to the Office of the Information Commissioner and involved MOCA, while security is being reinforced. Primary Care Recovery: The Catherine Hall Health Centre in St James has reopened after rehabilitation following Hurricane Melissa damage, restoring primary healthcare services for thousands. Community Health Tech: Adroit Infosystems highlighted digital healthcare workflows and EHR adoption at the CCFP Trinidad World Family Doctor Day Symposium, focusing on patient access, billing and care continuity. Diabetes Prevention Expansion (Regional): Northwell Health in New York was named a CDC Umbrella Hub Organization for the National Diabetes Prevention Program, aiming to expand lifestyle-based diabetes prevention services. Food & Health Policy: The Healthy Caribbean Coalition launched a regional campaign to challenge junk food marketing in schools, targeting healthier environments for children.
