Jamaican Doctors and their Growing Frustration

Jamaican Doctors and their Growing Frustration Long hours and low pay are some of the issues medical Doctors are facing at this time, President of the Jamaica Medical Doctors Association Dr. Mindi Fitz-henley says this is causing growing frustration among some of her colleagues. The average salary for interns, senior house officers and medical officers, is lower than $200,000.00 per month. These medical Doctors are often working for 40 hours per week and covid-19 has caused these hours to be extended. The situation is worse for the Doctors who work in the primary care settings and don’t have an additional source of income.

COVID JAB FEAR - Resistance from front-line staff could hurt vaccine campaign

As the Holness administration fine-tunes plans for the roll-out of the coronavirus vaccine in April 2021, it is emerging that the Ministry of Health and Wellness might be facing anti-vaxxer pushback from front-line staff who are one of the key groups first to be inoculated. Front-line staff might complicate what could be a logistical nightmare for the Government as doctors, nurses, porters, guards, and others in the hospital and health centre network interact with patients and present the greatest threat as transmitters or victims of viral outbreak. The cool reception to the vaccine is not unique to Jamaica as suspicion and fear have been reported in developed countries that are much further ahead with the despatch of what could be a game-changer exactly one year after COVID-19 emerged in China.
