The Caribbean Health Care Initiative (CariHealth) is our signature program that focuses on the health care needs in the Caribbean Region, where most of the islands are considered third-world countries. The goals of this program are:

1) Assist public hospitals and other public medical facilities in the Caribbean, improve the quality of health care they provide to the community, by supplying medical equipment, medical supplies and other resources.

2) Increase access to Medical Specialists through Telehealth Services.

CariHealth Jamaica is a project under our CariHealth Initiative that focuses on the health care needs on the Caribbean island of Jamaica. The goal of CariHealth Jamaica is to assist public hospitals and other public medical facilities improve the quality of health care they provide to the Jamaican community.

We are currently focused on supporting the St. Ann's Bay Regional Hospital by providing them with medical equipment and supplies that they need.
​
The St. Ann’s Bay Regional Hospital (SABRH) is a Type B, 304 bed, acute care, general hospital, that is accredited for teaching by the University of the West Indies. It is located on the North Coast of Jamaica in the parish of St. Ann.
​
It is the regional referral hospital for the North Eastern parishes of St. Ann, St. Mary, and Portland, receiving admissions from Port Antonio Hospital, Annotto Bay Hospital and Port Maria Hospital. The St. Ann’s Bay Hospital caters for an estimated population of 365,000 with regular contribution from the adjoining parishes of Trelawny, Clarendon, St. Catherine and St. Andrew.
​
Due to its location near to popular visitor attractions such as Dunn’s River Falls, Dolphin Cove, Mystic Mountain, Chukka Cove, and numerous resorts and hotels, SABRH also provides health services to the tourism sector.
