The Government of Jamaica is pleased to accept this gift of two mobile unites from the People’s Republic of China. These buses, which have been commissioned as another access point for our national vaccination implementation programme, is one of the many tangible expressions of friendship and cooperation that both countries enjoy over a number of years.

The reality is that we are in unprecedented times. The hospitals are at capacity and our health care workers are overwhelmed and fatigued. Jamaicans, it simply cannot be business as usual, you must follow the protocols outlined and communicated CONSTANTLY by the government or risk losing your life.

There r many positive and negative benefits of social media. On one hand, there are messages from people thanking the public health system for saving their lives, however, on the other hand, there are images shared of realities faced that make us know that more needs to be done. As Minister of Health and Wellness, my role is to set policies that will improve the delivery of health care services to the Jamaican public. However, the truth is that in order to fix a system it is important to observe and listen keenly to the people who work & use the system
