AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Health Infrastructure Update: Health Minister Sir Molwyn Joseph toured key healthcare projects, including a new renal facility under construction expected to strengthen dialysis services, plus updates on the CARE Project for children with special needs. NCD & Food Policy Push: Regional health leaders and civil society urged faster, evidence-based healthy food policy to tackle the Caribbean’s NCD crisis, citing rising diet-related diseases and the challenge of ultra-processed foods. Preparedness for Extreme Weather: PAHO called on countries to review hurricane health contingency plans, warning that even a less active season can disrupt services and raise risks like waterborne and vector-borne diseases. Local Health Governance: Cabinet approved appointments to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre board (including Dr. Philmore Benjamin and Dr. Edward Mansoor) and other health-related councils. Community Safety & Health: Police reported two suspects in custody after the death of Sheldon Dias following an altercation at Mock Pond, and separately searched for suspects after a wounding and robbery of two vessel crew members near Heritage Quay. Drug Enforcement: Authorities seized 500+ cannabis plants and nearly 1,000 pounds of cured marijuana near Pares Village; officials said the operation exceeded legal limits and lacked required licences. Wellness & Lifestyle Trend: A Global Wellness Summit survey highlights wellness moving beyond resort spas into homes, workplaces, and healthcare—framing it as a development strategy.
