“I would have entered public health in 2014, and in that year, I would have won the award for Public Health Inspector for the parish of Hanover. This year, I have again won that award for the Public Health Inspector for the parish of Hanover, and also the overall award of being the Public Health Inspector for the island of Jamaica, this year,” said an elated Cunningham in an interview with Observer Online after collecting his award.
