Until 2005 healthcare was not available in 9 Mile. The nearest free clinic is located in St. Ann’s Bay. The vast majority of the villagers cannot afford the fare to get there. Since 2005, Tuff-Gong International has organized a Healthcare Clinic in 9 Mile at the Cedella Marley Booker Academy. The visiting medical staff and medicines are provided by Integrated Clinics International (www.icihealth.org). GSCF helps sponsor the costs of the clinics. Since 2009, the clinic occurs twice a year.

- SIMEON: Simeon was born a beautiful healthy child. When he was 2, he developed Meningitis. The result of recommended surgery was that he lost his sight. He attended the Cedella Marley Booker Academy from the age of 3 to 5. We are looking for sponsorship for Simeon so that we can bring him to the US and have his case reviewed.
