AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

National Health Policy: The Governor-General’s 2026 Throne Speech set a 25-year development agenda, with a major shift toward transforming Antigua’s Medical Benefits Scheme into a National Health Insurance plan. Parliament & Governance: Opposition leader Jamale Pringle says his ejection from the Throne Speech was avoidable and disputes claims about him being unsworn. Ebola Preparedness at Borders: As Ebola concerns rise, Antigua says it will propose temporary entry restrictions for people who visited designated outbreak areas within 45 days, and is reinstating infrared thermal screening at VC Bird International. Air Peace Health Protocols: Antigua welcomed an inaugural Air Peace flight under enhanced health checks, while earlier decisions saw the Lagos service bypass Antigua and land in Barbados first due to Ebola caution. Infectious Disease Updates: Health officials report chickenpox clusters are being monitored and stress vaccination and basic prevention; they also confirm no hantavirus cases for years and say Antigua’s malaria risk remains low despite two imported cases. Local Health System Overhaul: The Health Minister outlined plans for hospital changes within six months, including moving dialysis services and expanding specialty care.
