AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Healthy Food Policy Push: Caribbean leaders and public health experts are urging faster action on evidence-based healthy food policies to tackle the region’s non-communicable disease crisis, warning that ultra-processed foods and high costs of healthier diets are driving obesity and diet-related illness. Child Protection at School: Youth and civil society groups are calling for a ban on marketing ultra-processed foods in and around schools, saying daily exposure shapes preferences and raises long-term NCD risk. Tourism Health Security: Grenada has launched CARPHA’s Regional Tourism and Health Programme to strengthen surveillance and early warning for tourism-related public health threats—positioning health readiness as part of destination competitiveness. Outbreak Readiness: Eastern Caribbean labs are linking up to build tier-based laboratory networks for faster, fairer outbreak detection and response. Medicines Access: OECS and PAHO are working to improve sustainable access to safe, quality-assured medicines and health technologies across Eastern Caribbean small island states. Grenada-Nigeria Business Drive: Grenada is promoting visa-free entry for Nigerians (starting July) and new investment opportunities across healthcare, tourism, aviation, real estate, agriculture, logistics and fintech. Health & Travel Policy Tension: A newly elected CHTA president says a US visa renewal was denied, pointing to Washington’s partial travel restrictions tied to citizenship-by-investment screening. Local Health Concern: Community groups in Woodford are raising public health and environmental worries tied to ongoing industrial development and planning enforcement. Animal Health Alert: A dispute over imported horses euthanised after testing positive for a tick-borne disease Babesia is reigniting calls for proper quarantine and handling.
