KINGSTON, Jamaica— Residents of Ocho Rios in St Ann will benefit from a free medical camp being organised by the High Commission of India in Jamaica on Sunday, October 2.
The camp is slated for the Ocho Rios Primary School, 47 Milford Road, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, and is being hosted in partnership with the Jamaica Council of Churches, Indian community doctors, and Indian Pharma Companies.
The services, to be administered by the community doctors, will include free medical consultation, blood pressure and diabetes checks, and medication.
People attending will be required to adhere to coronavirus (COVID-19) safety guidelines and protocols.
The camp will be the seventh organised by the High Commission since the start of the year.
