Twin pillars of public health

Twin sisters Dr Tamara Henry-Gilpin and Dr Tamika Henry are quietly reshaping Jamaica’s public-health landscape, working in parallel roles that reflect not only their training but also their shared sense of purpose. Henry-Gilpin serves as Medical Officer of Health (MOH) for St Mary, overseeing technical services in primary care across the parish. In neighbouring St Ann, Henry holds a similar post, ensuring systems are in place for primary healthcare while coordinating responses at the secondary level, particularly during disasters.
