AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Workforce & Care Access: Jamaica’s Ministry of Health has opened recruitment for Ghanaian doctors, nurses and midwives for deployment to Jamaica, 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. Public Health Policy: The Scientific Research Council (SRC) Act will be reviewed to modernise Jamaica’s science governance, including digitalisation plans and expanded programmes for MSMEs and public science engagement. Disaster Recovery & Housing: Government says it will introduce a new building code this year after Hurricane Melissa, with stricter enforcement and Category 5 resilience standards, while also strengthening national disaster response capabilities through ODPEM’s evolution into a National Resilience Organisation. Community Health Support: A Documentation Recovery Fair in St. Elizabeth is helping Hurricane Melissa-affected residents reclaim lost civil records like birth certificates, TRNs, passports and voter IDs. Child Nutrition Advocacy: Caribbean youth and civil society are pushing for a ban on ultra-processed food marketing around schools through the “Hope for the Future 3.0” campaign across multiple islands, including Jamaica. Health & Safety Awareness: NEPA’s National Environmental Awareness Week (June 1–8) focuses on recovering stronger and greener after Melissa, linking ecosystem recovery to public wellbeing.
