What it does

The Ministry of Health and Wellness site is the Jamaican government's public health hub. It carries a health facility finder and an office locator for the ministry's own departments, a wellness check calculator, and a locator for HIV, STI and tuberculosis testing sites.

The site publishes a weekly epidemiological surveillance bulletin by epidemiological week, giving a running record of notifiable disease activity across the island, alongside press releases and features covering ministry programmes. Reporting tools include PharmWatch, a drug monitoring form the public and practitioners use to report problems with medicines.

Programme sections cover non-communicable disease screening, the national routine immunisation programme, public health scholarships, the national health research conference and a national workplace wellness challenge. The site returns a 403 to automated fetchers, so its content is reachable from a browser rather than a script.
