The Supreme Ventures Foundation has strengthened its support for Jamaica’s healthcare infrastructure with the donation and installation of a new air-conditioning unit at the National Chest Hospital Blood Bank.

During a recent visit to the facility, Jhana Edwards, marketing manager at Supreme Ventures Limited, joined Christopher Ffrench, medical officer in the Accident and Emergency Unit at Kingston Public Hospital, and Igol Allen, blood donor organiser, to oversee the new installation which aims to enhance the donor experience.

By providing a temperature-controlled environment, the Foundation is ensuring that both staff and life-saving donors can operate in a more comfortable setting, ultimately supporting the critical mission of maintaining the nation’s blood supply.
