Episode Details

Spanish Town Hospital’s urology department just leveled up with life-saving gear to battle prostate cancer—new biopsy guns, ultrasound machines, and more—all aimed at catching the disease early and saving lives in St. Catherine and beyond. Celebrating five years since its launch, the clinic, led by Dr. Elon Thompson, who personally donated the ultrasound, now has the tools to diagnose and treat with precision. Prostate cancer is Jamaica’s most common cancer in men, so this upgrade means better outcomes. Thanks to a $28 million National Health Fund investment and corporate partners like IRAD Medical Supplies, the clinic—already seeing over 130 patients a day and performing nearly 1,500 surgeries—is proving that specialized care can thrive even in underserved areas.
