Medical teams stretched as Jamaica struggles with hurricane aftermath

Nov 02, 2025

Mexico City [Mexico], November 2: Jamaica plans to set up field hospitals in five western parishes after Hurricane Melissa caused extensive damage to health facilities, Health Minister Christopher Tufton has said.
Local media reports from Friday quote Tufton as saying that additional support is needed for doctors and nurses, many of whom are already stretched to the limit. Power and water services remain disrupted across many areas due to damaged infrastructure and fuel stations in the west of the country have reported low or no supplies, Transport Minister Daryl Vaz said.
At least 50 people were killed by Hurricane Melissa in the Caribbean, including 19 in Jamaica, and many were injured or remain missing.
