On Friday, April 7, World Health Day, Emancipation Park in New Kingston was transformed into a big workout party to mark the beginning of Jamaica Moves. A health and wellness initiative was launched by the Ministry of Health. The yearlong campaign encourages 30 minutes of exercise each day to reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases. Here are the highlights as Jamaica moves.
