Heat & dehydration alerts: The Medical Association of Antigua and Barbuda says it’s seeing more patients with dehydration and heat-exposure symptoms, including blurred vision, sudden headaches, and fatigue, with elderly and people with limited mobility flagged as especially vulnerable as El Niño-driven heat is expected to intensify. Eye health spotlight: Senior diplomat Claxton Duberry told an international audience in Kenya that Antigua and Barbuda is pushing to make quality eye care accessible to all, positioning eye health as a national priority. Health system updates: Minister Michael Joseph toured key healthcare projects, including a new renal facility under construction and a CARE Project site for children with special needs, stressing readiness for future demand. NCD food policy push: Regional health leaders called for faster action on evidence-based healthy food policies to tackle the Caribbean’s noncommunicable disease crisis. Local health leadership: Cabinet approved appointments to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre board, including Dr. Philmore Benjamin and Dr. Edward Mansoor. Safety & health incidents: Police reported a head injury after an Ottos New Town dispute and are investigating a separate wounding/robbery of two vessel crew members near Heritage Quay. Workforce & wellbeing: Vernon G. Edwards employees secured their first collective bargaining agreement with ABWU, including improved benefits and staged wage increases.
