Jamaica

Global Operations & Development, in partnership with Board Members, Eileen and Don Anderson, have sent a shipment of humanitarian aid to Annotto Bay Regional Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica.

The container was filled with refurbished medical equipment and other aid, including backpacks filled with school supplies for the children in that region.

Earlier this year, GO&D and the Andersons shipped out $400,000 worth of pharmaceuticals to the same hospital. That shipment was part of Global Operations & Development’s new pharmaceutical program, where GO&D partners with other organizations, churches, and indigenous persons to deliver shipments of pharmaceuticals to clinics and hospitals in developing countries.

Originally built in 1860 as a public infirmary, the Annotto Bay Hospital expanded rapidly to provide out-patient services the many communities of North-East St Mary. Annotto Bay Hospital today handles approximately 14,661 out-patient visits annually, including emergency services.
