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, with key radiation specialists already identified, but officials still haven’t confirmed an exact opening date or patient costs. Mental Health Reform: The Minister of Health received findings from a nationwide youth consultation on a new mental health care bill, with about 1,000 children and adolescents sharing views through surveys and focus groups, as the country moves toward rights-based legislation. Workplace Wellbeing: A letter to the editor highlights rising concern about stigma and unfair treatment of people experiencing mental health challenges at work and in society, calling for empathy and inclusion. Climate & Health Resilience: Health Minister Michael Joseph used the Berlin Climate Mobility Forum to stress climate justice and community-led relocation planning, while also meeting the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage to discuss protecting public health and livelihoods in vulnerable communities. Food Security: Cabinet heard updates on IICA-supported sweet potato projects aimed at boosting productivity, pest management, and nutrition security, with value-added options and more participation for women and youth. Road Safety & Alcohol Testing: An MP urged breathalyzer testing at accident scenes during debate on fatal accidents legislation, arguing alcohol checks are often missed when crashes occur. Local Health Capacity: Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre received a £25,000 Linbury Trust grant to buy a portable ultrasound system to improve fast bedside diagnosis.
