Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller and other principal stakeholders yesterday signed off on the inauguration of the Jamaican Athletes’ Insurance Plan (JAIP), thereby fulfilling the promise of a new dawn for sportsmen and women who relentlessly carry the hopes of a nation on their shoulders.
The formal agreement was completed inside the Executive Building Lobby at the Office of the Prime Minister.
The JAIP forms a part of recommendations outlined in the National Sports Policy of 2013.
The plan, set to take effect February 1, 2016, aims to provide sustainable health and life insurance, pension and retirement coverage for all eligible national athletes.
