JHLOF News & Latest Updates

Get ready to tee off for a fantastic cause! The Jamaica Hospitals League of Friends is hosting its inaugural Golf Society Day on 6 June 2025 at the picturesque Oaks Golf Club in Banstead. This event promises a day of friendly competition, delicious food, and the chance to make a real difference to healthcare in Jamaica.

Here we are at the start of 2022! The New Year is a good time to reflect on the past year and plan for the future.  The past year has indeed been difficult for all of us, and I understand many of you may be facing several challenges and uncertainties during this Covid-19 pandemic.

Let us make every effort to stay safe, not lose hope but continue to pray for a brighter future. Like other charities, JHLOF has faced numerous challenges in our efforts to support the health care system in Jamaica.

We continued to have our regular committee meetings and remain connected to key stakeholders via Zoom and other online platforms.

Nevertheless, our charitable efforts have seen some growth through collaboration with other charities focused on health and social care within the Jamaican Diaspora in the UK. These links have increased support for our charity.  Equally, we value very much the support from the Jamaican High Commission and our Patrons.

Our goals to fill gaps in health service provision by delivering medical and health service supplies to Jamaica were accomplished despite the ongoing pandemic restrictions to fulfil the critical need for continued essential medical equipment.  

Charity activities and achievements in 2019: Reflections from the Chair. 2020 is here! The New Year is an opportune time to reflect on the past and plan for the future.  For me, 2019 had several high points, uncertainties and challenges.  However, I am confident that our goals to fill gaps in health service provision and provide medical and health service supplies to Jamaica, were accomplished.  

It gives me pleasure to continue to work with JHLOF committee and supporters in service to Jamaica through Diaspora activities via the Jamaican High Commission and to see the volume of people who do similarly.
