As Health and Wellness Minister Dr. Christopher Tufton pushes ahead with efforts to ensure that Jamaicans are not overly uncomfortable while in line to access health care at State-run facilities, he is mulling adding air conditioning to the waiting area at Adelphi Health Centre in St James.

Construction of the Adelphi Health Centre was funded through the European Union’s Poverty Reduction Programme; the implementation agency was the Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF).

Two contracts valued at approximately $380 million have been signed for expansion and rehabilitation works at Mount Moriah Primary School in St. Ann and Pisgah Primary and Infant school in St. Elizabeth.

The projects are being carried out by the Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF) under the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) Basic Needs Trust Fund, with counterpart financing by the Government of Jamaica.
