AS JAMAICA continues to fight the spread of COVID-19, the Brown’s Town Health Centre in St Ann has received a boost from JN members,who will increase the health facility’s capacity to monitor the temperature of patients and improve the comfort level for patients waiting to be seen by health professionals.
The donation of thermometers, chairs, and sanitisers is being led by the JN Circle chapter in Brown’s Town, St Ann, to support the health centre, which provides primary care to some 42,000 residents from in and around Brown’s Town.
“We are seeing more people coming into the health centre, not just for COVID, but generally, we are seeing more persons.
So definitely, we are seeing more people,” reported Nadia Nunes, parish manager at the St Ann Health Department.
The parish manager also stated that the additional chairs will be placed outside of the cramped facility to facilitate physical distancing of at least six feet between patients who are waiting to be seen by a health professional.
