The Ministry of Health & Wellness says it will resume face-to-face implementation of its flagship 'Jamaica Moves' campaign on Thursday,
The Jamaica Moves Reloaded, aimed at tackling lifestyle diseases, will feature back-to-school medicals, health checks, nutrition counselling and food preparation demonstrations.

As part of the response, the health ministry says Jamaica Moves will, in the coming months, see activations in communities, schools and workplaces.
