AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Non-Communicable Diseases Push: President Sylvanie Burton warned that Dominica’s NCD burden is still rising, citing 1,100+ hypertension diagnoses (2020–2025) plus hundreds of new diabetes and cancer cases, and urged prevention through healthier living, routine check-ups, and shared action beyond the health sector. Primary Care Upgrade: Opposition Leader Jesma Paul-Victor called for a modern, climate-resilient Salisbury Health Centre with stronger prevention, early diagnosis, chronic disease management, maternal/child services, accessible design, backup power, and added mental health and counselling support. Immunization Support: PAHO/WHO backed Dominica’s immunization system by providing updated Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) manuals to strengthen safe, effective vaccine delivery in primary and institutional settings. Adolescent Health Online: The REACH project launched a regional webinar series on adolescent health, covering mental health, nutrition, stigma reduction, and parent-teen communication, starting Aug. 11. Waste & Health Risk: A Bellevue Chopin resident appealed for urgent removal of months-old household garbage, saying delays are attracting rats and creating health and safety concerns. Regional Policy Pressure: The EU warned five Caribbean states, including Dominica, to phase out citizenship-by-investment schemes by June 1, 2028 or risk losing Schengen visa-free access.
