Public Hospital Enter Emergency Mode

As Jamaica prepares for the passage of Hurricane Beryl, the Ministry of Health & Wellness is advising that all public hospitals will now enter
emergency mode.

This means that while hospitals remain open:

• Outpatient services and elective surgeries will be suspended
• Visitations will be limited and
• family members are asked to pick up their relatives, who have been
admitted for non-critical reasons

Additionally, the Jamaica/Cuba Eye Care Programme is suspended until further notice.

We encourage all Jamaicans to remain safe.
