AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Public Health Tech & Social Protection: Dominica’s Ministry of Health received UN World Food Programme equipment (desktops, tablets, and a laptop) to strengthen the Social Welfare Information Management System (SWIMS), with extra tablets and computers sent to village councils to improve records and support for vulnerable families. Healthy Food Policy: Regional health partners say progress on non-communicable diseases is slow, and Dominica is still in the mix for meeting healthy food targets if action ramps up fast. Medicines Access in the Eastern Caribbean: PAHO/WHO and OECS-PPS will hold a May 28–29 workshop in Saint Lucia to improve access to safe, quality-assured medicines and health technologies across OECS states. HIV & STI Testing Expansion: Dominica’s rapid HIV and syphilis testing services were strengthened through specialised training to support earlier detection and better public education. Community Safety & Mosquito Control: A joint community policing operation removed derelict vehicles from Coco Bottom and Goodwill, citing risks to public safety and increased mosquito/rodent breeding. Youth & Maternal Health Research: A Dominica-linked doctoral student presented regional research on substance use during pregnancy and low birth weight at a CARPHA health conference. Mental Health & Community Care: Police are investigating the death of a 46-year-old man in Goodwill, with preliminary indications pointing to possible suicide while an autopsy is pending. Adolescent Health Project: A new Canadian government-funded REACH project was launched to support reproductive education and adolescent community health in Dominica.
