AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Digital Health for Sickle Cell: Sickle Cell Cares Foundation (founded in Dominica) launched SickleConnect, a Caribbean-first platform for people living with Sickle Cell Disease, offering AI-assisted clinical summaries, virtual support, emergency location alerts, and moderated community access. Health Tech Support: PAHO donated 20 computer units (15 laptops, 5 desktops) to Dominica’s Ministry of Health to strengthen disease surveillance, health data management, and primary care reporting. Cancer Care Community: The Dominica Cancer Society announced its AGM on June 27 at UWI Open Campus Dominica, with updates on programmes supporting cancer patients and families. Neurosurgery Milestone: Dominica completed a first-ever brain tumour surgery, with the Health Minister citing expanded neurosurgical capacity and noting the return of the RCP–MMI eye surgery mission. Biodiversity & Disease Response: DNCTF and the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund disbursed over US$93,000 for two projects—Lethal Yellowing disease containment in the coconut sub-sector and coral reef restoration in Soufrière. Climate Resilience (Local): A US$5,000 grant from the Bahamas Protected Areas Fund will fund drainage and slope stabilization work in Atkinson over three months. Public Health Context: PAHO reports say health taxes on alcohol and sugar-sweetened beverages across the Americas remain too low to curb noncommunicable diseases. Wellness Tourism Push: Discover Dominica Authority launched “Summer: The Nature Island Way” with eight curated itineraries blending adventure, wellness, culture, and community experiences.
