AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Cancer Care Update: Antigua and Barbuda’s long-delayed cancer treatment centre is expected to start offering services in the fall, but officials still haven’t confirmed an exact opening date or patient costs; radiation specialists have been identified and specialized equipment is being prepared, including radiation “bunkering” needs near Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre. Mental Health Reform: Health Minister Michael Joseph received findings from a national consultation on mental health legislation for children and adolescents, with about 1,000 young people surveyed and 300 in focus groups, feeding into rights-based reform. Road Safety & Alcohol Testing: A parliament debate on fatal accidents is pushing for breathalyzer testing at crash scenes, after claims that alcohol smells were obvious but no test or blood sample was taken. Healthcare Capacity Boost: Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre received a £25,000 Linbury Trust grant to buy a portable ultrasound system to improve bedside diagnostics. Community Wellness: OECS invites residents to an Antigua and Barbuda Fun Walk for wellness and regional unity, starting 5 p.m. June 18 at the Ministry of Health HQ. Local Health Leadership Loss: Tributes continue for surgeon Dr. Subbiah Radhakrishnan (“Dr Krishnan”), remembered for mentorship and compassionate care. Cancer Fundraiser: CIBC Caribbean’s “Gala for the Cure” at Galley Bay Resort raised awareness and funds, growing attendance from 86 last year to over 100 this year.
