Jamaica — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continues to support healthcare institutions in Jamaica through the donation of medical equipment to Victoria Jubilee Hospital and Savanna-la-Mar Hospital, helping improve care for thousands of patients and strengthening the capacity of healthcare facilities across different regions of the country.

During the handover ceremonies, Elder Ahmad S. Corbitt, General Authority Seventy and member of the Area Presidency in the Caribbean Area Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ, emphasized the value of Christlike service and affirmed that true faith is reflected in actions that relieve suffering, strengthen families, and bless communities.

At Savanna-la-Mar Hospital, The Church of Jesus Christ donated hospital beds, transport stretchers, vital signs monitors, cardiac monitors, infusion pumps, fetal monitors, and laundry equipment, strengthening the facility’s ability to provide care while improving conditions for both patients and healthcare workers.

The Church of Jesus Christ also supported Victoria Jubilee Hospital, Jamaica’s leading maternity hospital, through the donation of an ultrasound machine and thirteen cardiotocography (CTG) monitors. The initiative, carried out in partnership with Food for the Poor Jamaica, will help strengthen maternal and neonatal care through improved pregnancy monitoring and earlier detection of potential complications.
