Health Minister Dr Christopher Tufton (right) and Prime Minister Andrew Holness take a "a selfie" with attendees at the inaugural Dr Barry Wint Memorial Scholarship which finances studies in public health for Jamaican students during the official awards function at the AC Marriott Hotel in St Andrew last Friday. The scholarships which cover 13 professions of health-related specialisations ranging from nurses, doctors, biotech engineers, pharmacists, lab techs to dieticians and others value up to $1 million a year for up to five years on the basis that they will be bonded to work in public health after.
