The Shipping Association of Jamaica’s community clinics are a critical part of the outreach services we provide.

Residents of communities near to the shipping district of Newport West have continuously benefited from free clinics in their areas where they are seen by doctors and nurses and provided with medication. Services which have been offered include eye screening, blood-sugar testing, cholesterol testing, ECG, blood-pressure checks, and general check-ups by volunteer doctors.

This is part of the SAJ’s stated mission to provide critical health services to those who might not otherwise be able to afford it. The mission is also to increase the awareness to Jamaicans of the need to adopt healthy lifestyles.
