- HELPFUL ORGANIZATIONS
Jamaica has limited resources for any kind of medical isues. It is therefore the reason why we have to rely on research, and other support from other countries. We are the only serious stroke resource for Jamaica at this time. We need volunteers to help with research so we can implement more Jamaican based support systems.
Here are some supportive information gleaned from organizations that are making a difference in the lives of people all over. Everything may not apply to you, but you will learn enough to help yourself or your loved one.
