Jamaica will implement a number of key public health policies to tackle the NCD crisis @tvjnews ... The health ministry continues to make its case for a special consumption tax on sugary drinks. The revenue measure will rake in about 10 billion dollars for the government and take effect in the first quarter of the fiscal year. But for the health minister, he is hoping that Jamaicans will reduce sugar consumption. The healthcare sector has long come under pressure for inadequacies: Worker shortages. Bed unavailability. Infrastructure issues. Check out this full story and more from tonight's broadcast on The TVJ Youtube and On 1Spotmedia. #tvjnews

Congratulations to Jamaica 🇯🇲 @christufton on this public health move! @HealthCaribbean

#DecisionBIM: Barbados will now see its highest percentage of women MPs in its history within this upcoming parliamentary term. Women will make up 30% of Members of Parliament, an increase from 26% in the previous term - ranking as one of the highest levels of female representation in CARICOM. Tyra Trotman will be this term's youngest MP at 30 years old.

Congratulations to Jamaica 🇯🇲 on the introduction of this public health measure - the SIN TAXES! @christufton @HealthCaribbean

This is very important. I have seen several patients with delayed diagnoses of metastatic colon cancer despite several trips to doctors/ER because they were so young (sometimes in 20s) cancer wasn’t even on the radar! Increasing awareness is key!!

The Healthy Caribbean Coalition and Trinidad and Tobago NCD Alliance Applaud the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago on the Updated Schools Nutrition Policy. This policy builds on the 2017 ban of sugary drinks, such that only water, 100% fruit juices, low fat milk and blended vegetables or fruit drinks with no added sugars and/or artificial sweeteners were to be offered at all Government and Government-assisted schools.
