Michael Abrahams | Calling out Dr Hunter

My colleague, Dr Roger Hunter, a neurosurgeon, has been making the rounds in the electronic and print media sharing his perspectives and offering advice regarding COVID-19. First, the good news. Dr Hunter has reminded us that maladies such as cancer, heart attacks and strokes are killing more Jamaicans than COVID-19, and has urged us to adopt healthy lifestyles, lose excess weight and control conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, as doing so will make us less vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19. He also spoke of the stress that the pandemic has subjected us to, and has called for more psychiatric, psychological, counselling, and social work services. I agree. The World Heath Organization’s (WHO) definition of health includes physical, mental, and social well-being, and I am grateful that my colleague’s approach to managing the pandemic is a holistic one.
