Support for lupus awareness
The Jamaica Medical Foundation (JMF), outreach arm of the Jamaican insurance industry, recently donated $100,000 to the Lupus Foundation of Jamaica at a forum held at Emancipation Park in New Kingston. The money, said the JMF, will assist the Lupus Foundation in carrying out its objectives, including a focus on lupus awareness. On hand to receive the donation are (from centre) Dr Petagay Scott Brown, paediatric rheumatologist; Emily Ruth, a volunteer; and Dr Desiree Tulloch-Reid, president, Lupus Foundation of Jamaica.
