The New Jersey-based Help Jamaica Medical Mission is scheduled to visit Jamaica on its annual run from September 4 to 16.
During the visit, residents across six parishes will receive free screening for heart disease, cancer, prostate disease, mental health issues, diabetes and sexually transmitted infections, thanks to the volunteer corps of doctors and nurses.
The healthcare specialists from the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut tri-state area will also be screening residents of Kingston, St Thomas, St Catherine, Clarendon, Manchester and Westmoreland for sickle cell and a range of other conditions.
”We have been saving lives, making people see again and become healthier because of our yearly medical mission to Jamaica,”explained Help Jamaica Medical Mission President Dr Robert Clarke.
