AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Ebola Watch: Grenada’s Ministry of Health says it is closely monitoring the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with WHO risk to the Caribbean (including Grenada) assessed as very low—so there’s no immediate threat and no need for alarm; officials urge good hygiene, safe food handling, and updates only from official sources. Healthy Food Policy Push: A regional webinar ahead of the 20th anniversary of CARICOM’s NCD push highlights slow progress on diet-related illness prevention; PAHO says only a few countries (including Grenada) have the needed healthy food policies, while others still have time if action is taken fast. Medicines Access in the Eastern Caribbean: PAHO/WHO and OECS-PPS will convene a workshop in Saint Lucia to strengthen access to safe, effective medicines and health technologies, including pooled procurement, better supply planning, and quality assurance. Chronic Disease Spotlight (Grenada): A Grenada-focused commentary warns that high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes remain widespread and are driving strokes, heart disease, and kidney failure—calling for stronger prevention and control. Youth Gambling Alarm: New figures suggest Grenada may be emerging as an OECS youth gambling hotspot, with lottery sales up sharply and concerns that digital betting and economic hardship are pulling young people in. Regional Health Capacity: A CARPHA conference presentation from Khalisha Halley examines substance use during pregnancy and links to low birth weight, bringing maternal health concerns to regional decision-makers. Local Health System Support: Grenada’s Agricultural Development Assistance Programme (ADAP) adds about EC$1 million to support farm labour and inputs—aimed at boosting local production and aligning with regional food security goals. Medicines & Health Tech Planning: The Eastern Caribbean technical working group launch is set to guide coordinated improvements across procurement and inventory management. InterContinental Resort (Tourism): InterContinental Grenada–La Sagesse is set to open in November 2026 with 120 rooms—good news for the economy, but it also raises the need for strong public health planning as visitor numbers grow.
