AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Health Workforce Push: Jamaica’s Ministry of Health has opened recruitment for Ghanaian doctors, nurses and midwives for deployment, targeting specialist nursing roles (neonatology, oncology, critical care, nephrology, emergency, peri-operative) and fellowship-level physicians (general surgery, internal medicine, anaesthesiology, pathology, nephrology, cardiology), with applications running June 1–5. Air Quality Warning: NEPA says Saharan dust has worsened air quality in parts of Kingston and St Andrew, with an uptick in PM2.5 readings that could aggravate respiratory conditions, urging vulnerable people to limit exposure. Men’s Health Screening: Jamaica Cancer Society’s St Ann–St Mary branch reports improved turnout at a Men’s Health Fair in Ocho Rios, with free PSA/DRE plus checks for blood sugar, blood pressure, HIV and cholesterol. Food & Health Advocacy: Caribbean youth and civil society are calling for urgent bans on ultra-processed food marketing in and around schools, warning it undermines healthy eating and raises childhood NCD risk. UHWI Governance Scrutiny: Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee heard acting UHWI management say no board records were found to support claims of CEO appointment interference, while earlier auditor findings continue to drive scrutiny of procurement and controls. Disaster Response & Recovery: PM Holness outlined steps to strengthen ODPEM into a National Resilience Organisation, and Jamaicans are being invited to volunteer for Diaspora Day of Service projects, including healthcare support in hurricane-affected areas.
