AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

NCD & Cancer Prevention: Nurse Priscilla Prevost is urging Dominicans to eat smarter amid rising non-communicable diseases and cancer fears, recommending balanced meals (carbs, proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and water), cutting back on simple sugars and sweetened drinks, and boosting fibre-rich local foods like ground provisions, breadfruit, plantains and fruits, with plant-based proteins more often and animal products in moderation. Youth Wellness: CARICOM’s Dr Carla Barnett marks Caribbean Wellness Day 2026 by calling on youth to protect their mind, body and wellness early, pointing to regional NCD pressures and noting many young adults face overweight or high blood pressure, high alcohol use and low physical activity. Diabetes Community Talk: DOMDA’s “Sip & Chat” set for Sept 30 invites ages 16–35 to discuss blood sugar awareness, mental health, sexuality and relationships, confidence and “knowing your numbers,” with limited tickets. Health System Planning: Dominica is developing a Centralized Health Workforce Database and Dashboard of Indicators (CHWD+) with PAHO/WHO support to strengthen health workforce planning and pandemic preparedness. Local Health Safety: Police are investigating the suspicious death of 23-year-old Aliyah Joseph at the Dominica-China Friendship Hospital; the cause is not yet established. Sports-Health Link: The Tasty Treasures Heritage Relay’s White River leg in Delices tied sport and local food culture to health, wellness and community participation.
