AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Cancer Care Boost: Health Minister Dr. Frank Anthony says breast cancer screening is expanding beyond Georgetown, with plans to offer mammography in every region, alongside GPHC advances like local testing and telepathology; he also highlighted rising HPV vaccination coverage and urged use of HPV screening vouchers. Medical Supply Accountability: President Irfaan Ali warned public health officials they’ll be dismissed if they bypass Guyana’s new centralised medical supply system from July 1, which will control emergency drug purchases through set sign-offs and monthly oversight. Under-16 Pregnancies: Parliament responses show 584 girls under 16 were referred to the Childcare and Protection Agency between 2020 and 2025, but the Ministry says it can’t provide how many gave birth, raising calls for clearer outcomes. Uranium Mining Warning: Environmental specialist Dr. Vincent Adams cautioned Guyana isn’t ready for commercial uranium mining, citing regulatory and safety gaps. Regional Cancer Drugs: Martinique says it’s willing to send radioactive drugs/isotopes for certain cancers to Guyana’s doctors. Human Trafficking Fallout: 33 Indian nationals linked to an alleged indentured labour scheme have been repatriated after a long dispute over who would stay. Teen Crime Case: Police report a breakthrough in the Zeelugt murder probe, arresting a 23-year-old farmer who allegedly confessed to killing a 7-year-old and stabbing her great-aunt. Migration Pressure at Border: Brazil intercepted 108 Cuban migrants near the Guyana border, arresting five suspected smugglers and calling it a major humanitarian rescue. Agriculture Innovation: Guyana launched a Caribbean Sustainable Agriculture STI Hub with Brazil’s EMBRAPA and IICA to strengthen tropical agrifood research and resilience.
