AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Medical Community Loss: Antigua and Barbuda’s healthcare sector is mourning the sudden death of respected surgeon Dr. Subbiah Radhakrishnan (“Dr. Krishnan”), with tributes from Winter Medical Centre, Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, the Health Minister, and the Medical Association of Antigua and Barbuda. Police Investigation: Dr. Krishnan was found unresponsive outside his Belmont home; police say inquiries are ongoing and no cause of death has been confirmed. Child Health & Food Policy: A regional youth advocacy push, “Make it Make Sense for Our Future / Hope for the Future 3.0,” is engaging children and families on how unhealthy food and beverage marketing affects school environments. Youth Leadership: Antigua and Barbuda will host the 2026 Commonwealth Youth Forum (1–4 Nov), with 23 young people selected for an international taskforce to shape the programme. Public Health Preparedness: CARPHA trained participants from across the region, including Antigua and Barbuda, on safely transporting infectious substances and diagnostic specimens to strengthen lab and pandemic readiness. Health System Access: Patients can now request some hospital appointments online, easing access to care. Unproven Treatments Warning (Abroad): A U.S. report highlights unapproved stem cell infusions marketed for autism, with families paying up to $20K despite FDA warnings. Regional Health Context: Antigua and Barbuda’s economy outlook is revised downward amid rising fuel and food costs—an indirect pressure point for health and wellbeing.
