The last 2 years have witnessed the pivoting of Jamaican and global health systems to address the health burden related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Notwithstanding the death toll and morbidity associated with COVID-19 infections, chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs), including cancers, continue to be the dominant health problem in Jamaica and internationally. These chronic diseases are often preventable through modification of health risk behaviours and exert tremendous cost burdens on the health system. The additional burden on the population requires a coordinated approach from civil society and the health team to respond effectively. Within this context, the Medical Association of Jamaica (MAJ) will this year refocus its members, other health workers, and civil society, on the issues and possible solutions to the CNCD pandemic.
