Screening Clinic

A screening programme, at 30 Beechwood Avenue, Kingston 5 offers electrocardiogram (EGG) tests, blood sugar tests, haemoglobin tests, blood pressure checks, cholesterol tests and height and weight checks on a daily basis. The Heart Foundation of Jamaica enjoys a close relationship with the Cardiology Department of the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) from which cardiologists give assistance with the interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECGs).

Patients who are discovered to have conditions requiring follow-up specialist care, are referred to a private cardiologist or to the Cardiology Department of the University Hospital of the West Indies, where a weekly outpatient clinic is held. The screening services are headed by a Medical Manager, who is a Registered Nurse. These services are available from Mondays to Thursdays from 8:00am - 4:00pm and 8:00am - 3:30pm on Fridays.

Advice is always available with respect to healthy lifestyles and the prevention of heart disease.

A referral from a doctor is not necessary to access the services at the Foundation. This assists with the reduction of costs to the patients, thereby encouraging them to attend for a check-up. If a problem is identified, patients would then be referred as necessary.

The costs of the services at 30 Beechwood Avenue are:

1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) (Heart Test) J$1000.00
2. Blood Pressure/Weight Assessment J$100.00
3. Cholesterol Test $400.00
4. Haemoglobin Test J$300.00
    (Iron in the blood)
5. Blood Sugar Test J$300.00
    (For Diabetics)


Members of the Heart Foundation enjoy special discounted rates on all services offered.
