Last update: 6 hours ago

NCD Tech Push: Health Minister Christopher Tufton launched the Chronic Care Connect (CCC) pilot and the Jamaica Moves app in Spanish Town to help Jamaicans better manage diabetes and hypertension, with CCC starting a 600-patient, one-year rollout across six health centres. Medical Interns Crackdown: Tufton ordered RHAs and UHWI to complete a 72-hour physical audit of interns’ accommodation and to review duty rosters to prevent overwork, after JMDA raised concerns about exploitative conditions. Public Health Accountability: Tufton also reiterated the need for stronger management of public health institutions to improve outcomes and tackle non-communicable diseases. Community Wellness Funding: St James residents joined CARE Fund sensitisation sessions for community-led health and wellness grants, including ideas targeting substance abuse and youth support. Child Protection Alarm: Opposition youth and human rights spokesman Isat Buchanan flagged a “child protection emergency” after CPFSA reported 13,531 abuse reports in 2023/24, urging wider action beyond hotlines and limited centres. Disaster Solidarity (Regional Health): Jamaica pledged support to Venezuela after twin earthquakes, while the U.S. began search-and-rescue and medical humanitarian response. Autism Spotlight: A Jamaican parent in the diaspora released a new book highlighting autism challenges to help families handle sensory and everyday situations like picture day.
