AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 minutes ago

Healthcare Delivery: Spanish Town Hospital marks five years since reopening its Urology Department, citing nearly 1,500 surgeries and new prostate diagnostic capacity after a donated ultrasound and biopsy equipment handover. Staff & Patient Support: Victoria Jubilee Hospital in Kingston officially opens the Carol Picart Courtyard under the Ministry’s Compassionate Care Programme, aiming to boost staff welfare and patient mental wellness. Digital Payments & Accountability: Outgoing Bank of Jamaica Governor Richard Byles admits BOJ’s JAM-DEX rollout was mishandled, saying the central bank waited too long to involve deposit-taking institutions and should have treated digital payments as a national priority. Public Finance & Property Costs: The National Land Agency begins revaluing about 900,000 land parcels, a move expected to raise property taxes as values are updated after years of outdated figures. Sports & National Pride: Opposition spokesperson Wavell Hinds demands transparency from Minister Olivia Grange over the National Stadium track’s World Athletics certification after Jamaica was omitted from the latest certified list. Public Safety & Justice: Police report a major fake-goods sting in downtown Kingston with $75m seized and wholesale owners charged, while the Supreme Court stays action against a St Elizabeth case-management officer challenging partisan-activity proceedings.
