AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Border Health: Antigua and Barbuda tightened Ebola-related entry rules, halting visa waivers for African travelers and requiring full 45-day travel history disclosures, with the Ministry of Health, Port Health Unit and partners saying response protocols and surveillance are in place. Eye Care Access: Cabinet backed a new partnership to bring free corneal replacement surgeries to Antigua and Barbuda in the coming months, with five procedures expected first, and officials say it will open the door to more advanced ophthalmology services. Neurodiversity Support: Government approved plans for a specialized Cognitive Behavioral Centre for autism and other neurodivergent disorders, aiming to improve early intervention, diagnosis, treatment and family support. Tourism & Wellness: The US$200M Long Bay Zen Resort broke ground, with officials framing it as wellness and experiential tourism that should also create jobs and support fair pay. Public Health Policy: A regional push for healthier food policies highlights slow progress on non-communicable diseases targets, with diet-related illness impacts stressed by PAHO partners. Community Health Events: Menstrual Hygiene Day is being marked with a wear red or pink campaign, and an Autism Awareness Walk drew community support with EMS and police assistance. Local Incident: A 56-year-old man was found dead outside his Cooks Hill home; police report no signs of injury or foul play and say the cause of death is under investigation.
