Published: Saturday | June 20, 2009


Sixty persons who suffer from diabetes, and who live in Montego Bay and its environs, in St James, benefited from a mini health mission, staged by the St James Parish Council and the Atlanta Health Mission, at St John's Methodist Church Hall, on June 16.

Persons attending the health mission were pre-selected for special treatment by the St James Health Department and were also adequately educated on the basics of the disease, as well as about prevention and care.

The Health Mission team from Atlanta, including an ophthalmo-logist and one dietician, was led by honorary consul in Atlanta, Vin Martin.
