Maternal Health Boost: Victoria Jubilee Hospital received 14 foetal monitoring machines (13 CTG and 1 ultrasound) worth $32 million, easing a long-running shortage and improving early detection of pregnancy complications. Surgical Services Under Strain: Opposition health spokesperson Dr Alfred Dawes says operating theatres at Kingston Public Hospital and Bustamante Hospital for Children remain disrupted by recurring infrastructure failures, with KPH citing central air-conditioning problems and plans to replace ageing units. School Nutrition Alarm: The National Secondary Students’ Council warns poor nutrition, high sugar intake and student hunger are affecting health and learning, urging action as many schools fall short of the National School Nutrition Policy. Child Safety Online: Fi We Children Foundation says restricting social media access for under-16s won’t be enough, calling for stronger laws, child-centred platform design and better privacy defaults. Public Health in the Community: After Hurricane Melissa, Project STAR ran medical hubs in Salt Spring and Savanna-la-Mar, providing consultations, checks and health education to nearly 200 residents. Accidental Poisoning Warning: Westmoreland Health Department urges parents to secure household chemicals and medicines during summer break, citing high rates among children aged 1–4. Health Sector Finance: Indies Pharma Jamaica reports a 38.5% decline in net profit for the six months to April 30, attributing disruption to Hurricane Melissa while noting signs of recovery.
