🔘 KPH curtails A&E service amid severe staff shortage

The Kingston Public Hospital has restricted service in the Accident and Emergency Department because of a severe staff shortage. The department is reportedly operating in "emergency" mode. The development coincides with mounting frustration among staff working in very hot and uncomfortable physical conditions.

▫️ Patients are being redirected to other facilities in the South Eastern Regional Health Authority. Their staff is being warned to brace for increased cases.

▫️ Medical staff are urged to be vigilant and to be on the alert for viral illnesses. Jamaica has increased monitoring for symptoms of the often fatal Ebola Virus amid reports that eight people on the island are now in self quarantine after travelling to affected African countries.

▫️The Health Ministry says the eight people have shown no symptoms of the disease and there has been no reported Ebola case in Jamaica.

The entity that is responsible for authorizing runs and carnival which block the entrance/exit to hospitals such as Medical Associates needs to stop it. Last night I could not access the hospital because there was a run/walk.

Starting May 1, GraceKennedy is hiking sweetened beverage prices by an average of 9%. Wisynco? Some products jumping by over $1,500. This is the most consequential thing to happen to the average Jamaican's grocery bill this year, and almost nobody is explaining it properly. Let's fix that.
