AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Health Security Moves Fast: Antigua and Barbuda is stepping up airport and port screening as global Ebola concerns grow, with thermal scanners set to return and port health operations reinforced ahead of additional flights from Nigeria—officials stress there are currently no confirmed or suspected Ebola cases locally. Malaria Alert, Mosquito Response: The country confirmed two imported malaria cases; one visiting traveller has died, and health teams are intensifying mosquito control with larviciding, targeted fogging, and source reduction while urging residents to remove standing water. Hospital Operations Under Review: Health Minister Michael Joseph has started a strategic review of Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre operations, focusing on staffing, administration, and immediate fixes versus long-term planning. Community Health in Action: An inaugural Ambassadorial Health Fair delivered free screenings for blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, vision, HIV, and HPV. Leadership Loss: Philanthropist Sir Aziz Hadeed has died overseas after a brief hospital stay, leaving a major legacy in education and youth development.
