Partnership For The Promotion Of Patients Rights

The controversial and tragic passing of 23-year-old Jodian Fearon has brought many painful issues to the fore.

Jamaicans have been reminded of just how important it is to know their health rights. This is true for patients, but also first responders, front-line caregivers, and the general public. All have a right to know and exercise those rights.

To discuss some of these issues and explain our health rights in the time of COVID-19 and beyond we are joined by Professor Wendel Able Consultant Psychiatrist and Head of the Department Of Community Health & Psychiatry at the University of the West Indies, Mona.
