Jamaica Hurricane Relief Mission, 2025

Dear esteemed colleagues, we finally made it home safely after a very productive medical and non-medical mission to help with Jamaica hurricane relief efforts. ANPA volunteers in collaboration with HICF and other local volunteer organizations did a great job providing medical care and much needed basic commodities like food, water, clothes, etc. Full report to follow. There’s more work to be done. The pictures and videos speak for themselves. Thank you for your support. Special thanks to the four ANPA doctors who went with me on a very short notice (Drs. Osita Onyekwere, Oranu Ibekie, Yvonne Okoh, and Barakah AbdulKareem) and those who donated money and supplies towards this project. Remain blessed. Cliff Eke, President ANPA

Below is a statement of appreciation from our hosts, Drs. Ernest Madu & Dainia Baur:

“Beautiful people. We thank you so much for your extraordinary generosity to Jamaica with your time, talent and resources. We are deeply appreciative. Through your deeds, you have touched hundreds and perhaps thousands of lives at their lowest points. The hurricane Melissa impact on Jamaica has been devastating and lives were irrevocably altered. At times like this, a population depends on the kindness and generosity of others to restore hope and recapture their resilience. You brought that hope to Jamaica at the time of its greatest need, thanks to the remarkable leadership of our most able, generous, energetic and indefatigable, Dr @⁨Cliff⁩. Cliff has continued the cherished tradition of visionary ANPA leaders that ensures that ANPA will continue to grow from strength to strength. We look forward to continuing the progress towards a Caribbean ANPA chapter.

As you depart today, we wish and pray for a safe and uneventful flight back home and continued success in your professional and personal journeys. May God continue to lead and bless each and everyone of you. Thank you so much for ALL you have done for Jamaica and for your support and partnership with the Heart Institute of the Caribbean Foundation. IJEOMA.”
