This is another awesome and well researched presentation. Thank you Irena, Jamaica 🇯🇲 is blest to have you within our shores. You could have been living in any other warm country, but you chose here to make it your home. We are thankfully.
Another great research done by our honorary citizen, Irena. I remember been vaccinated for polio, etc back in the 70's as a child. Now that I am an adult I have benefited from free Healthcare. The downside of free Healthcare is the loooonnnng wait. I hope Jamaica will be the first to improve on this process. 😉😷😎
Well done. This video revealed quite a bit that I didn't know. Jamaica's impact/contributions to the world are truly far reaching.
This lady is great advising Jamaicans and non Jamaicans. Very interesting 👌
Eternal Father bless our land.
Irina is a true Jamaican indeed. Anyone who loves Jamaica, lives there and showcases it to the world in a positive light is Jamaican to me. Don't argue!
Many Jamaicans are not aware of how good the health care system is in Jamaica. About 6 weeks ago my sister's brother-in-law had a stroke and he could not walk or talk. He was given a brain scan and they found a blood clot on his brain. At UWI Hospital they operated on him and about a week later he was back to his normal self again. He didn't pay a red cent for any of the services. I have about the best insurance there is here in America which cost me approximately $8000/yr and my employers pay $8000, and each time I go to the doctor I have to pay either $15 or $40, insurance only pays for generic brand meds which I have to pay a part of, and I have to pay for many other things such as xray etc. It is absolutely crazy.
If it soo good why when anyone of the government ministers get sick them fly to America to visit a doctor etc prime minister Seaga
@@markmcfarlane8600 That's the thing about us Jamaicans; we cannot have a civil discourse/dialogue without someone injecting politics in it.
@@mdl9096That's why Jamaica cannot strive to much politics and negativity, I went into the emergency in the US for half a day and i have a bill of 14 thousand still hanging over my head during covid so I know the struggles with healthcare in the 🇺🇸
Yes I second this. Healthcare in the U.S. is very high quality but it is extremely expensive even if you have insurance.
MDL It's good to hear that your brother in law was well taken care of. However, health care in Jamaica is in a crisis. The island is hemorrhaging nurses and other medical professionals, and many hospitals in the rural area are poorly equipped. A lady in my district-Her daughter needed an ultrasound and Falmouth Hospital did not have a working ultrasound machine; she had to be taken all the way to Cornwall Regional in Montego Bay from upper Trelawny. I think health care in Jamaica is not universally good for all Jamaicans.
I remember as a kid nurses would come in the local district going door to door doing Immunization and yes it did work really well this is an amazing video with great research thanks Irena.
Excellent, people this is an awsome woman, smart and funny too. The jamaican Goverment should honor this lady
Start putting in the bloopers at the end please It is gold
Totally agree
I remember when I was growing up in the 1960s that there was a doctor or dentist almost in almost every corner of our small community in May Pen. Even when we were kids in elementary school, I remember accompanying my cousin who was in Middle School at the time to an after-school dentist visit without an adult. We were not turned away. I don't recall the outcome of the visit but this was amazing to me.
The focus of healthcare then was preventative, hence, the reason for the model that was there in the 1960s through early 1980s.
So true Irie. Alot of people didn't know these things
I wish if the these Chinese show us love & respect like you . Thank for loving us.
We should not refuse using our private health insurance when using public hospital facilities too, cause your employer is paying for it and if unused it doesn't roll over to the next contract year. One Love Irina thanks for the update.
The end cracked me up, pronunciation can be veeery difficult 🤣🤣
Blessings irina..another excellent educational vlog. Keep up the great work..proud Jamaican ❤️🇯🇲
You have nailed it again, excellent reach and an excellent presentation, I'm personally eternally grateful you have made Jamaica 🇯🇲 your home.
I'm going to the school of Irie Irina because I'm learning good "stuff".
Well appreciated!! thank you !
Well done for bigging up Jamaica for other things besides music, sport and sunshine. Big up yourself.
Mind blowing information, thanks again for highlighting our achievements.
As usual well done and I was surprised to learn that Jamaica made contributions to world health.
This is because it's not advertised by those who tend to highlight negatives of other countries. We who know this have been telling those who will listen. Jamaica has always been a trailblazer. My regret, and I have lodged this numerous times with the relevant authorities. Here's hoping that this video helps to dispel the incorrect view that our health system is useless.
Thank you, Irina, for showcasing Jamaica in a positive way. You are indeed ‘One of Us’, as our motto portrays. Your comments are on point and unbiased.❤
glad you keeping us in the know and be safe out there. 🇯🇲🇺🇲
👁👁🇯🇲 thank you Irina for continuously educating us you are a God sent 🙏🏾👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and on the other side of the world in this time of grief and sorrow we join hands hearts in one and pray for the courageous and brave Soldiers to continue to do what is right ... "WOW" girl you are on a whole nother level with this one once again thank you a million Irina you are a super champ continue to knock them out with those jadders and uppercut blows and this is only the first round 🙏🏾🙏👍👏🏻😁🤗😄😁
I'm proud of been a part of the primary health care system in Jamaica 🇯🇲 as a Registered Midwife.
Bless up, Irina! De end of the video had me DWL!! 😆
Getting chills as you present this content Irena! So appreciative!
So refreshing you see you back . We all adore and love you
Arina again you are doing a great job you are a digger of facts and your presentation is wonderful. Were you a teacher or counselor in your homeland? The work you are doing in Jamaica is over the top i am over seventy years old and I learn alot from your blogs I say again thank you for sharing and giving this in indept information to your listeners please keep up the great work 👍 😀
Fluoridation is just a part of the reason for the positive result of the improved dental health in Jamaica.The dental nurse program played an even bigger role in the improvement of dental health care. We provided dental education and dental outreach programs to reach more of the children than was possible before the implementation of the program.
As usual, your videos are informative, fascinating and very thought provoking. Keep up the good work my lady.
Please remember to hit 👍 button
Thanks for sharing sis, many people don't know their own history and place in the world...I love you.
this was great. not often do Jamaicans hear about the many achievements and milestones made nationally as well as on the world stage.
Very interesting Irina, you've covered areas I had not thought about at all...Umm, food for thought indeed. Thank you so much, I thoroughly enjoyed your video, so much so, I went back for a second viewing.
I did not know Jamaica’s contributions to healthcare but I am also not surprised. I remember UWI conducting research in the use of marijuana for lots of medical purposes long before it became a thing in America. Maybe you can do a vid on that ❤
Two Jamaican doctors experimented with Marijuana it’s use for Glaucoma long before America. A lot of what Jamaica does are downplayed but later resurfaced as America’s original idea. The Jamaican healthcare like it’s education is very good and surpasses those of many developed nations. What developed nations may have over Jamaica is technology and money. I am a Jamaican trained RN and midwife , who worked in the US for over 40 years. I consider myself capable of making unbiased comparisons between Jamaica, the US and even some Caribbean Islands. Leaving Jamaica to work in the US healthcare system had some reality shocks for me. Many procedures I did in Jamaica as a student nurse were just being introduced in the US. Money talks, that’s the bottom line, Jamaica was more advanced in may ways in the 60’, and 70’s in clinical to the medicine etc. and I think still does. I remember as a student in Jamaica working in the cancer unit with radium implants etc., the badges we wore the measure our radiation levels, what to do if an implant dislodged and fell out, the lead walls, the lead containers, and how we positioned ourselves to give quality care to our patients while protecting ourselves. People from all over the Caribbean came to Jamaica for surgery and treatments. I remember in 1992 a patient was scheduled for cesium implant at a US hospital I worked, of course many neither understood , nor knew how to care for this patient nor up to protect themselves of course beinge educated in Jamaica prepared me for any aspect of healthcare, we were like premature doctors and contributed immensely to the development of the US healthcare system. I am a product of both systems and I am very proud of My Jamaican education and also of my US experience.
Irena should head up our school of journalism. Awesome research and presentation.
It would be nice if you could talk about Jamaica's influence on cinematic viewing worldwide. I heard that Jamaica came up with the system of releasing a movie simultaneously in all cinemas back in the 1960s in Jamaica. America adapted that approach and from ever since that has been the culture in America's cinema. Before Hollywood adapted Jamaica's style, a movie in America was released at different times from state to state. Also, please talk about Jamaica welfare programme, PATH, which is part of the Public Assistance Division of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security. Many people especially the Diaspora don't know that Jamaica has a social welfare programme which is considered one of the best in the world.
Wow! Irina you a re a cut above the rest. Thank you for all your hard work, stay blessed.
Once again I learn so much.
Love the end ❤️🇯🇲
Thanks, so enlightening. You did a great job, as usual. Looking forward, as always to the next video. The out takes were funny 🤣🤣🤣
What funny
4:06 1 in 2 persons is considered obese(BMI greater than 30) , 1 in 3 have high blood pressure, and 1 in 8 have diabetes. I hope readers appreciate how truly scary those stats are and what it suggest for the future of the nation. 🥺 And the data was collected over five years ago, so the situation might be even worse now.
On a recent visit, I recall having a hard time finding anything low calorie/low carb (aside from water) in the local shops to drink. Anyway, I am REALLY looking forward to the vid that will look closer at healthcare. This has been a great series.
On my last visit to Jamaica I made the mistake of drinking a box of juice and a bottle of Red Label wine. My mouth went into instant spasms on account of the high sugar content - it was like drinking thick syrup. When combined with a typical meal of breadfruit, green bananas, dumpling, rice and peas plus a large slice of sweet potato pudding, it's no wonder that obesity, diabetes and heart disease are our number one killers. And the government could easily educate the population by running a few ad campaigns on how to reduce carb intake. An ad campaign cost far less than what it costs to treat ONE individual for diabetes or heart disease!
When I heard the statistics, I almost fell out of my chair. That is the definition of a public health crisis. Everything in Jamaica is way too sweet. Both my parents died of complications of diabetes. We left Jamaica more than 30 years ago and thank God because we probably would have diabetes now consuming all that sugar and starch.
@@CurtisCT exactly! An educated public is an empowered public that can engage in better decision making. The carbs they get from natural foods is one thing, but the very concentrated sugars in all the drinks and processed foods is a recipe for disaster.
@@bunnyveena8292 a national CRISIS indeed. If more Jamaicans realized that at this rate, they will have a future with many limb amputations, wounds that won’t heal, BLINDNESS, and stroke, to name just a few of the conditions that diabetes and heigh blood pressure will lead to…they would probably think twice about some of the foods they are now eating,
I was listening to some investors giving a review on stocks to pay attention to in Jamaica. What was said is that Fontana pharmacy is projecting on being more profitable by betting on Jamaica's aging population needing more medication. If Jamaicans don't pay better attention to their health, the health system will become like what's in the USA, where there is a pill for everything and doctors are the biggest pushers of drugs for the pharmaceutical industry.
Thank you Irene for another one of your marvelous research. I have always known that Jamaica and its people were unique but didn't know exactly how much with your informative information I have come to start getting to the eye-opening nitty gritty of each source. Thank you, for your effort, it is well appreciated.
Irina another excellent and informative video. I really look forward to your content. I am amazed that Jamaica essentially served as the template for primary care for the world. I took all of this theory in undergrad in the 90s and never once was my home country referenced for its contributions. I am now 30 years into a nursing career as an NP and this has made me a very proud Jamaican. Thank you for your video and I love you out takes at the end, you did good gal!
As always, your research is top notch. You’re a gem.
Your videos never fails to teach me something new.
I always look forward to them. Very informative.❤
Big up your self Irie all way love your show
Interesting episode
Great Job!! Thanks for an enlightening presentation.
Great video as usual
Heading to Jamaica for the first time in a few weeks and I'm so grateful to have found your channel. Just the overall information is so appreciated and has me so excited to finding out more. I want to know more. Thank you!
Wow! I learned a lot. I did not know that my country made such a magnificent contribution to the Health of the World. Growing up we had clinics all over the country that greatly helped the people. I thought that the rest of the world was the same way. We took it for granted. Now I know why the world population doubled in forty years. The rest of the world learned from us. We literally wrote the book.
Always great reporting, with the receipts. Upp!
Thanks 👍🙏 again very will done ✅
Thank you for this series. Great work
Look also into our contribution to nursing in the UK😊
Your articles are always very informative and helpful 👍 as a jamaican living my whole adult life in America and is now retired I would love to come back home soon
Thank you for your positive aspects of Jamaica.
Much appreciated. Love you ❤️
Blessings Irene happy to see you back on the tube, your informations are enlighten and educational God be with you always love sister
Wonderful video as always. Thanks for the great information.
Like all videos very informative, there are many Jamaicans that work in the Health Care system abroad also, nice video.
Irie, thank you for the research and informative video you have produced on the subject of Healthcare in Jamaica. My general understanding of Jamaican healthcare is that it is relatively poor. I often hear that those who have major health problems tend to travel overseas for major operations, if they can afford it. You have discovered another great contribution Jamaica made globally towards Primary health care, I was unaware of this and greatful for you journalist endeavor which brought this information to light. While I agree with your view regarding immunisations; I am not sure that the Covid Vaccines contributed to saving lives in the way information is portrayed by global media. Although your graph indicates a decline in deaths, graphs (as you have taught in other videos' need context) , I think there are other factors to consider on this subject: such as coivd mainly affected the mortality of the elderly population, and those with underlying health issues; younger people were not seriously threatened by covid. Some African Continents, with young populations are examples of low covid tranmission or death rates without having access to vaccines. Recent findings from Isreal, who were constantly refered to as the most vaccinated Nation during the pandemic indicate that there were cases of immune escape and continuous hospitalizations after the 3rd and 4th Jab, not to mention the effectiveness of the vaccines wearing off after three to four months. I believe the verdict is still out regarding the effectiveness of the vaccines as there are current reports on serious adverse reactions and increased unexplained death rates post covid in England and America.
I would have loved for you to provide more information focusing on hospital waiting lists times for surgeries in Jamaica as well as ambulance services in Jamaica. This information could be compared between general and private hospitals. Overall, you continue to produce very informative content about Jamaica and I always post you videos to friends who need another perspective on issues concerning Jamaica. May your channel continue to grow and develop partnerships with relevant institutions for better media coverage of the Island.
Good night you teach me a lot of thing
Hey Irena good day to you, I must say your presentation is well put together and very, very informative, I do gained a lot from your info, great presentation from ypu again, all the best.💥
Watching
Knowledge is everything!
Hit this one out of the park Irina. You really educated me today I am in total amazement. So proud of my country of birth. Moving steadfast and forward Thank you Irina. Keep bringing them forward. I’ll be watching
Irina , great info. as always ! That was very informative 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Happy to watch this video...POSITIVE. We should take the time to learn about our beautiful Jamaica 🇯🇲 and stop repeat the negatives sold to us by the haters.
Very intresting vidio .thamk you so much ,a lot to know about Jamaica..
Stellar presentation as usual, Irina. You presented many facts I was not aware of. I was apalled at the high incidence of obesity, DM and HTN - more education needs to be done on the dangers of high sugar and carb diets. On a more positive note, it was great to hear of the achievements and contributions to world health....Kudos, Ja!
Your videos have been highly informative and I have enjoyed them immensely. I disagree with you for the first time and believe that I'm in good company( as are you) when it comes to the" vaccine" of the last( planned) pandemic. I believe wholeheartedly in vaccine that eradicate, eliminate diseases, viruses and the last "vaccine" failed that test. I do however appreciate your program and believe that you're a person of integrity
Peter V, I respect your POV, but Vaccines are NOT only intended to "eradicate or eliminate" diseases or viruses. They also do not PREVENT someone from getting a disease or Virus. No Medication in the WORLD, can prevent someone from "CATCHING" something.
Vaccines are intended to FIGHT AGAINST diseases and viruses, to minimize the SPREAD. In other words, they HELP your BODY to "combat" the disease or virus, such that you do not get "AS SICK" or even DIE from that disease or Virus if / when you catch it. And some work so well, that they eventually prevent people from getting so sick , that they do NOT pass it on to Others. And YES, some Vaccines DO "Kill Off" a Disease or Virus, but NOT all Vaccines do that.
So, in regards to the most recent pandemic ("planned" or not, it was REAL), the Vaccines were NOT intended to KILL the Corona Virus or its Variants; this was made VERY CLEAR by all the Medical Organizations and Pharmaceutical Companies. However, they most certainly were HELPFUL in SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING the EFFECTS for those who caught the Virus; which was the INTENT.
Whether or not you want to believe the Facts, they are there, regarding the Positive Impact of the COVID 19 Vaccines. But I can only speak from my Personal experiences of who I know who have Died, or spent 2-3 weeks in a Hospital, or were bed-ridden for that long, before the Vaccine was available; compared to the number whose illness was not much worse than a bad cold, and effects / symptoms were gone in 3-4 days, because they were vaccinated.
Im really enjoying these series. Thank you once again for your diligence and making this an interesting series.
Thank you.
It's always a pleasure watching your videos Irena. I have learnt so much from this video. Nuff blessings
I love listening to you you educate me alot
Well done. Thank you. Could you do a video on the current state of the health industry and cross reference it with the current migration of trained medical personnel from our industry to overseas industries such as the USA and UK.?
You are amazing as always Irina, thanks for all the information, much appreciated, love you baby girl. 💕
As usual Irene your presentation is excellent barring the unnecessary lengthy part on vaccine. As a journalist please do more diversified research on modern vaccines. There is a difference between ole’ time vaccines and recent “synthetic “ vaccines. There are high rates of myocarditis affecting the young who received the vax, other illnesses are occurring too. You and I may not have had side effects, others have. 🙏🏾
I am never disappointed by the well researched, lucid, concise, unbiased, fact-based, presentations that Irina posts. They are an antidote for the hyperbolic misinformation that so often pervades social media.
I heartily encourage her to keep up the excellent work. Now, more than ever, the people of Jamaica, and indeed the world, need a source of sound, fact-based, reliable information to aid their understanding of important issues and inform their decision making.
Hi Irina. You not only made Jamaica your home, but you make the happening and the good of Jamaica your perogative, as you educate the nation home and abroad, and also others, as you explain the beautiful place that Jamaica is. For that i salute you. I knew about the information on immunizations. Keep up the good work. You are very informative. More power to you. Great job. 👍🏼
Awesome content Irena! You're the best at what you do, so I say 🍻 👏 to you! Love you !!!
Please discuss the “quality” of the care in the next video not just “options available.” Also, I would like to see drug testing in the Caribbean/Jamaica from big pharmaceutical companies and the quality of doctors from other countries coming to Jamaica to practice medicine. I have heard that when some doctors aren’t tip top doctors they come to places like Jamaica to practice.
Goes without Saying...Another well researched, interesting and eye opening video about Jamaica. I want to just say this: The point about Vaccines in Jamaica is right on point....well, at least in the small Rural "Village" where I grew up. [Side Note: Some people have questioned my use of the word "Village" on previous Videos comments...but I don't care...I use it with PRIDE].
Anyway, I was born in 1966 in Saint Ann, and as a young kid (before 5 years old), Measles and Chicken Pox were rampant amongst US kids. I don't know what year it started, but when I was in Basic School (i.e. Pre-K and Kindergarten), Medical Personnel started coming to our schools to vaccinate us. It was frightening for us because of the Huge Needles at the time; and we still have those vaccination "marks" on our arms to this day. But guess what, within a few years, the cases of Measles and Chicken Pox SIGNIFICANTLY DROPPED; and long before I left Jamaica in 1981, they were practically GONE from my hometown. Of course, I can't speak for TODAY, as I don't know if some people who are against Vaccines have refrained from getting their kids vaccinated.
Another point of my Story, aligns with the "Primary Care" concept; in that Medical Personal came to our Town (Village), as opposed to our parents having to take us to the Main Hospital in Saint Ann's Bay to get vaccinated. But I also remember certain people within our Town, who would be called when someone was feeling sick; now I understand why.
Powerful information as usual, great work ❤👌🙏
Very informative indeed!!
Hi Irina,this video is really interesting. Its great to learn about Jamaica's contribution to world health.
Especially for the focus on prevention and universality of access to healthcare.
Loved the "outtakes" at the end too,Irina.
What an awesome video. I genuinely didn’t know all that. These are the things that they don’t teach us in school.
Back then we were never given a mRNA gene therapy as a Vaccine, growing up as a child i was never given a mRNA gene therapy, is the MMR Vaccine a mRNA gene therapy?
Thank you so much Irina for these information, keep up the good work
Brilliant, brilliant.
Thanks...Best in Class
Great video as usual Irie 🇺🇦>🇯🇲👍
Thanks Irina, you are always on top of things Jamaican. I have learned quite a lot about Jamaica and it's global influences.
What a well-researched pre-
sentation, thanks for your in-
put. The goal of the Alma Ata conference was " Health For All, By The Year 2000", so stated. Alma Ata; pron-
ounced ALMA ATTA. I div-
ided the word and added a T to indicate the emphases. Hence, Alma Ata. Again, well done Irina. All the way from Ukraine, eh 😊👍🤗🌴
As usual Irina, vlog is very informative. Thank you 👍🏽
Good job.
Thanks for the info, I do appreciate.
Keep up your good work
