The Institute has developed postgraduate training and updates in the form of symposia, seminars and conferences in Nephrology. The Institute has facilitated the Caribbean Renal Registry and will assist in the operation and maintenance of such registry in collaboration with the Ministries of Health of the region and other stakeholders. It is active in public education and awareness of kidney diseases and charitable work related to such diseases. In the treatment of renal disease and the prevention of such, it seeks to share up-to-date knowledge. It has work closely with transplant teams and various associations such as the Caribbean Association of Nephrologist and Urologist to create this advanced academic environment. This Nephrology and Hypertension Conference is one of the activities through which the Institute seeks to bring together scientist and healthcare providers to advance the science of kidney disease and patient care. The Nephrology and Hypertension conferences over the past 11 years have been successful, spanning three days (in the first instances) with over thirty insightful presentations on Kidney diseases and Hypertension. Attendants ranged from medical professionals, students (medical, nursing and pharmacy), pharmaceutical representatives, and pharmacist to nurses; not only from Jamaica but also from North America, Europe and the Caribbean. This year’s conference will continue to focus on educating both the academician and civil society about kidney disease and the way to prevent or slow its progression. Treatment strategies, screening the at risk population for kidney diseases, discourse on healthy lifestyle and objectives to reduce the prevalence of the disease will be highlighted.

    The Incidence of Cleft Lip and Palate in Jamaica ' w D. RALPH MILLARD, JR., M.D., F.A.C.S. KENNETH A. McNEILL, M.D., B.S., FR.C.S., FA.C.S ' Miami, Florida The low incidence of clefts of the lip and palate in the Negro race has been noted often. In 1924, John Staige Davis (1) reported an incidence of 1:1170 births in Baltimore where there was a large number of Negroes and found the incidence of these anomalies to be lower in the Negro than in the Caucasian. Similar findings were suggested by Douglas (1950 and 1954) from the vital statistics of the State of Tennessee where the inci- dence was 1:1694 (6). In 1956, Peer (4) found that in New Jersey the proportion of white to Negro lip and palate clefts was 97 to 3. Sesgin and Stark (6) found in the Woman's Hospital Division of St. Luke's Hospital in New York the incidence of 1:1289 and explained this low incidence to be due to the relatively high percentage of Negro citizens. This was re- confirmed by Ivy (3) when he cited the incidence in Pennsylvania at 1:906 births but in Philadelphia County, with a 36% Negro population, the incidence was 1:1184. These findings again were substantiated by Robinson (5) in the multiracial society of Trinidad where the two major ethnic groups composing 90% of the population were divided into 54% Negro-mixed and 36% East Indian. The total incidence of cleft lip and palate in Trinidad was 1:857 but in the East Indian it was 1:500 and only 1:1888 in the Negro-mixed.

  • Psychiatric Induced Births in Jamaica: Homicide and Death Effects On
    rensic An o th F f ro o p l Bourne and Hudson-Davis, J Forensic Anthropol 2016, 1:1 o a l n o r g Journal of Forensic u y o J Anthropology Research Article Open Access Psychiatric Induced Births in Jamaica: Homicide and Death Effects on Pregnancy Paul Andrew Bourne1* and Angela Hudson-Davis2 1Director, Socio-Medical Research Institute, Kingston, Jamaica 2Angela Hudson-Davis, Capella University, USA Abstract For this paper, the researchers have narrowed the gap in the health literature by addressing the following objectives: 1) evaluate the role of homicide on admissions to a maternity hospital (or on pregnancy); 2) assess whether or not deaths can induce pregnancy or birth; 3) determine the responsivity of hospitalization at a mental health facility among pregnant women; and 4) calculated the responsivity of hospitalization to a maternity institution based on changes in homicide or deaths. The data for this study were taken from a Jamaica Government Publication. Data were also obtained from the Ministry of Health (2005-2015) on admissions to a national mental health public hospital in Jamaica, which is the Bellevue Hospital. The period for this work is from 2005 through to 2015. Homicide has an effect on admissions to Victoria Jubilee hospital, using the positive elasticities, especially those greater than one. Keywords: Induced birth; Postpartum psychosis engines did not turn up a single research on the aforementioned issues. Another rationale for this study is based on the comments of Valenca Introduction and de Moraes “There is a scarcity of studies in the literature that Jamaica is the largest English-Speaking Caribbean nation and deal with the relationship between mental disorders and homicide in the third largest Caribbean island with an estimated population of developing countries” (S67) [13].

  • HEALTH SYSTEM and SERVICES PROFILE of JAMAICA (1 Edition, March, 15, 1999)
    HEALTH SYSTEM AND SERVICES PROFILE OF JAMAICA (1st edition, March, 15, 1999) (Revised, August, 30, 1999) (2nd edition, December 5, 2001)* ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH SYSTEMS AND SERVICES PROGRAM DIVISION OF HEALTH SYSTEMS AND SERVICES PAN AMERICAN HEALTH ORGANIZATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An independent state in the Commonwealth Caribbean since 1962, Jamaica is governed by a constitutional parliamentary democracy based on the Westminster/Whitehall model from England. Overall, there was little or no growth in the Jamaican economy during the decade of the 1990s. A major factor was the collapse of the financial sector (banks and insurance companies) in 1996, which had an impact on the entire economy. Despite the lack of growth in the formal economy, there have been significant improvements, e.g. a dramatic drop in the inflation rate and poverty rate. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) the worst is past and the economy will be making a slow recovery towards growth in the foreseeable future. Like many small and developing nations, the economy is fragile and highly vulnerable to a number of external and internal factors. The pressures of the global economy, remittances from abroad and natural disasters are prime examples. Tourism, especially the North American market, is the major earner of foreign exchange. A significant internal factor is the informal economy. Over the past two decades, debt servicing has claimed about one-half of the government operating budgets. Multilateral institutions are the largest providers of funds to the country, usually as loans. Life expectancy at birth is 75.3 years. Life expectancy by gender is 73.3 years for males and 77.3 for females.
