The post CARIBBEAN: Woman charged after falsely accusing ex of rape on social media appeared first on St. Lucia News Online.

JAMAICA OBSERVER — A woman was yesterday arrested and charged under the Cyber Crimes Act after she posted pictures on social media claiming that her ex-boyfriend is wanted for rape, assault and murder.

A release from the Ministry of National Security said 35-year old Amieka Mullings was arrested after investigations by the police revealed that the information was false and malicious.

She was charged with malicious communication under the Cyber Crimes Act, after being interrogated in the presence of her attorney.

Security Minister Robert Montague, in a recent interview with OBSERVER ONLINE made a passionate plea to Jamaicans to stop sharing fake news online.

Montague renewed that call in the release, saying false information circulating on social media alleging that people are being abducted and killed so their organs can be harvested and sold undermines the work of the police.

The ministry also reminded that under the new cybercrimes legislation, it is illegal to use a computer or similar device to willfully send another person any data that intends to cause, or is reckless to causing annoyance, distress, anxiety.

The penalty for that offence is a fine not exceeding $4 million, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding four years if the person is a first-time offender.

The post Critically-injured accident victim requires urgent surgery appeared first on St. Lucia News Online.

Kyle Joseph (inset photo) and another male were occupants of this mangled Honda car that crashed on the Millenium Highway on Jan. 27, 2017.

A relative said 28-year-old Kyle Joseph was “critically injured” in a motor vehicle accident on Jan. 27, 2017 and requires surgery to repair his “spinal column”.

However, the family is seeking assistance from the public to offset some of the costs associated with the surgery.

Kyle’s cousin, Rosa Joseph, has set up an account on fundraising website GoFundMe to faciliate donations. CLICK HERE to help.

Rosa wrote on the site: “On January 27th, 2017, my cousin, Kyle Joseph was critically injured in a car accident in our home country, St. Lucia. Unfortunately, his spinal column was damaged (fracture at C6 and C7) and he is experiencing weakness in his upper body and unable to feel or move anything in his lower body. My family has been informed that surgery is needed and while it will not guarantee a full recovery, there is hope it will help.”

Kyle Joseph posted this photo on his Facebook profile on the morning of Jan. 27, 2017. He sustained critical injuries in the motor vehicle accident later that same day.

“The healthcare system in St. Lucia is different from that in the U.S. The total cost of the surgery will be approximately $42,000 E.C. (16,000 U.S. dollars) and the surgeons are asking for at least $29,000 E.C. (11,000 U.S. dollars) upfront before doing the surgery. My aunt (his mom) has gone to the insurance company every day for the past week and a half and has had no luck in determining if they will be able to help offset the cost.”

Rosa said weeks have passed since the accident and it is critical he has the surgery soon. The more time that passes, the less likely for recovery, she said.

“Thus, I have started this fundraiser to help my family offset some of those costs. Anything you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Kyle and his girlfriend recently had a baby girl, Kayan, in August and she has been the light of his life. I understand if you can’t provide financially. But, I do ask for you prayers and well wishes to keep Kyle strong, stable, and his spirits uplifted so he can pull through for his family,” she said.

On Wednesday during an interview online with this reporter, Rosa was immediately unable to give details of the Jan. 27 that injured her cousin. However, according to an article posted by St Lucia News Online (SNO) on that same date, two males were injured in the accident that occurred on the Millenium Highway after 10 p.m..

Officials said a Honda motor vehicle, with two males on board, ran off the road and broke a utility pole.

The occupants sustained serious injuries and were transported to hospital by ambulance, officials said.

Kyle and his girlfriend had a baby girl in August 2016.

The driver was trapped.

“We had to extricate him using cutting equipment,” a fire official had told SNO.

Another official had reported that one of the men appeared have sustained “spinal” injuries because he complained of “not feeling his legs”.

The car stuck a utility pole.

The post Caribbean nurses receive specialist training appeared first on St. Lucia News Online.

PRESS RELEASE  – The first cohort of Caribbean nurses undergoing specialist training to care for kids with cancer and blood disorders have all successfully completed the first semester.

Thirteen nurses from Barbados, The Bahamas, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, enrolled in a specialised one-year Nursing Training Programme at the University of the West Indies School of Nursing (UWISoN)in El Dorado, Trinidad and Tobago last September.

The training is part of a partnership with SickKids-Caribbean Initiative and is being funded by the FirstCaribbean International Comtrust Foundation, the charitable arm of regional bank, CIBC FirstCaribbean. The nurses successfully completed their first semester in the Paediatric Haematology/Oncology Nursing Program.

The 13-week semester consisted of online learning, in-class learning at UWISoN and clinical practicum at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC).   

They focused on building foundational knowledge and skills in general paediatric nursing and specialty knowledge and skills in paediatric oncology nursing care. The students started Semester 2 on December 5, 2016 with five weeks of online learning. In-class learning began on February 6, 2017, and will be complemented by six weeks of clinical practicum both at EWMSC and at their home institution, culminating with a final twelve-week internship component at their home institutions.

The second cohort of students will begin the program in May 2017 and will also include nurses from St. Lucia.

CIBC FirstCaribbean’s partnership with SickKids Foundation extends from the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in Barbados in 2013 when the bank pledged to provide US$1,000,000 over a seven-year period to train medical professionals specialising in the care of paediatric patients affected by cancer or blood disorders such as sickle cell disease. The partnership is being undertaken in collaboration with the University of the West Indies.

SickKids Foundation is a charity registered in the Caribbean, to, among other things, fund training for Caribbean medical professionals as part of the SickKids-Caribbean Initiative (SCI) through the Centre for Global Child Health at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto, Canada.

Director of Corporate Communications at the bank and Trustee of the FirstCaribbean International ComTrust Foundation Ltd, Debra King, said “CIBC FirstCaribbean is delighted at the progress of the participants in the training programme. We have every confidence that they will all successfully complete this vital training which will greatly increase their capacity to care for some of the region’s most vulnerable children”.

The overall objective of the SickKids-Caribbean Initiative is to enhance the care of children in the region who are affected by cancer and blood disorders, and ultimately increase the survival rates. The five-year plan that was developed by SickKids in association with their Caribbean partners addresses the region’s gaps in capacity to advance diagnosis and the treatment of paediatric cancer and blood disorders.

It also aims to create awareness throughout the region of childhood cancers and blood disorders
