20-Minute Health Talk

In part three of our four-part series, From New York to Jamaica: A Healthcare Partnership, host Sandra Lindsay, RN, reunites with the Northwell Health OB/GYN team who traveled to Kingston in September 2024 to provide pro bono fibroid surgeries. Drs. Michael Nimaroff, Monique Jones, Ruqayyah Abdul-Karim, and Dillon Gurciullo share personal reflections on their experiences collaborating with Jamaican healthcare professionals, navigating the challenges of limited resources, the joys of cultural exchange, and the profound impact of providing life-changing care for women who had been waiting years for surgery. Hear how this unique collaboration is strengthening the Jamaican healthcare system and fostering a spirit of partnership and shared learning between Northwell Health and the University Hospital of the West Indies. This episode offers an inside look at the dedication and passion driving this initiative and its potential to create a healthier future for women in Jamaica.
