Residents of Bamboo, St. Ann, and nearby communities now have improved access to primary healthcare following the reopening and handover of the upgraded Bamboo Community Health Centre.
The facility, officially reopened on June 5, was rehabilitated at a cost of $68.1 million through a partnership between the National Health Fund (NHF) and the North East Regional Health Authority (NERHA). The NHF contributed $59.6 million toward the project.
The upgrade included the construction of a car park, expansion and rehabilitation of existing buildings, and the procurement of new furniture and fixtures. A standby generator is also expected to be installed.
Residents will now be able to access services such as oral health assessments, family healthcare, antenatal and postnatal clinics, curative care, nutrition services, child health clinics, and home visits.
Health and Wellness Minister Dr. Christopher Tufton said the upgraded facility reflects the Government’s push to modernise health centres across Jamaica.
Regional Director of NERHA, Fabia Lamm, said the project will support better health outcomes and promote preventative care at the community level.
Bamboo resident Bishop Betram Tomlinson welcomed the improvements, noting that the facility now has a well-asphalted parking lot and a more comfortable environment for residents.
“Compared to the previous one, this is not simply refurbished; this is a new facility,” he said.
