AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Food Safety Focus: Jamaica’s food safety push gets a spotlight ahead of World “From Burden to Solutions – Safe Food Everywhere,” with WHO/FAO urging safer handling, storage, and sourcing to protect public health, tourism, and food security. Cancer Prevention: A cervical cancer elimination compendium highlights the urgency for Jamaica, where most deaths occur among women who have never been screened—renewing calls for vaccination, screening, and treatment access. Health Workforce: Jamaica and Ghana move to strengthen care delivery with recruitment of Ghanaian doctors and nurses for deployment, including specialist roles in critical areas like oncology, neonatology, emergency, and peri-operative care. Marine Health & Risk: A new report warns offshore oil and gas exploration in Jamaica’s Walton-Morant block could threaten coral reefs, seagrass beds, and key fishing grounds—raising stakes for coastal livelihoods and tourism. Public Health Advocacy: Healthy Caribbean Coalition youth and partners launch “Hope for the Future 3.0,” calling for bans on ultra-processed food marketing around schools to curb early unhealthy eating and future NCD risk. Disaster Resilience: After Hurricane Melissa, government signals a new building code this year aimed at Category 5 hurricane resistance, with stricter enforcement and checks to reduce future harm.
