AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Food Safety Push: Jamaica is urging people to take responsibility for safe food ahead of World Food Safety Day (June 7), with the Ministry highlighting simple steps like handwashing, safe storage and thorough cooking—especially for animal-source foods. Community Health & Giving: The Guardian Group SHINE 5K Night Run/Walk 2026 raised over $30 million for Kingston Public Hospital, Falmouth Public General Hospital and Project STAR, with 100% of proceeds earmarked for equipment and support programmes. Specialist Care Milestone: Spanish Town Hospital’s urology unit marked five years and nearly 1,500 surgeries, including prostate cancer procedures and expanded minimally invasive kidney stone surgery after acquiring a laser machine. Blood Donation Drive: The Jamaica Motorcyclists Association and JCF will host a Bikers’ Blood Drive at the National Chest Hospital on Saturday, aiming to collect 100 units. Regional Health Research: A UWI researcher contributed to a major Lancet series warning chronic kidney disease is one of the world’s fastest-growing health crises. Healthy Food Policy (Caribbean): Regional leaders and health experts called for faster, evidence-based healthy food policies to tackle the Caribbean’s non-communicable disease crisis. Disaster Readiness: St. Elizabeth is strengthening recovery readiness after Hurricane Melissa through a UNDRR-supported workshop and roadmap for future resilience planning. Nutrition & Supply Pressure: Jamaican Scotch bonnet pepper shortages are driving up prices, squeezing jerk and hot sauce supplies.
