Panel Discussion

The Health Sector’s Human Resources Amid COVID-19 Decline

Jamaica’s COVID-19 numbers are seemingly on the decline, but does it speak to the broader issue of the country’s capabilities to effectively handle the virus? Are the recent measures and policies bringing about success? And what about the country’s health human resources? There was a report recently which says the environment for nurses in Jamaica is very toxic coupled with low wages.

Joining Panel Discussion are Vice President of the Nurses Association of Jamaica, Carmen Brissett and Dr. Peta Gaye Aitcheson.
