AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Heat & Hydration: Jamaica’s Meteorological Service is warning of hotter-than-normal summer conditions, with heatwaves possible if day and night temperatures stay above thresholds, and El Niño expected to intensify heat and dryness. Blood Supply Push: Victoria Jubilee Hospital blood drive highlights Jamaica’s ongoing shortage—about 30,000 units collected versus 60,000 needed annually—urging more young donors to protect surgeries and emergencies. School Mental Health Support: Granville Primary and Infant School in Trelawny opened a therapeutic playroom to boost students’ emotional, social and psychological well-being, joining similar rooms in St James and St Mary. Water & Wastewater Resilience: Minister Matthew Samuda says major wastewater and water-supply investments are key to protecting coastal assets, including new and upgraded sewage treatment projects. Poultry Recovery Aid: Discovery Bay poultry farmers received training and starter support (chicks, feed, and technical help) to restart production after Hurricane Melissa. Community Health Education: The UWI announced its OneUWI postgraduate conference, with prior health-focused research presentations recognized—showing continued momentum in regional health research. Violence & Safety Alerts: Police are investigating a woman’s death after a reported firearm accident in Parottee, and a man has been charged with murder after a pitchfork attack on a truck driver in St Catherine.
