AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 minutes ago

MV Barima tragedy and mental health: Guyana’s ferry disaster response is drawing sharp focus as clinicians warn that survivors and bereaved families need long-term psychosocial care, not short-term support. Psychotherapist Dr. Shane Tull says mental-health services must run for years and should also cover fishermen, divers, medical workers, and recovery staff exposed to traumatic scenes. PAHO praised the government’s on-the-ground coordination in Region One, while other voices argue the national mental-health system still lacks specialized crisis facilities and trained personnel. Accountability in court: Three senior MV Barima officials—captain Kevin Price, chief mate Rondell Roberts, and loading official Delon Granderson—were charged with murder and remanded, with adjournments set as the investigation and Commission of Inquiry continue. One Health push: The Ministry of Health signed a US$1.78M Service Delivery Agreement with PAHO/WHO to strengthen laboratories, disease surveillance, emergency response, workforce training, and multisectoral coordination under the Guyana One Health Project. Maternal support: Rotary Club of Garden City delivered 25 maternity hampers to GPHC to support mothers and newborns during Maternal and Child Health month. Safety culture in construction: The Labour Ministry continued its “Putting Safety First” campaign with a Region Four seminar aimed at improving workplace safety practices. Poverty data controversy: Bloomberg reports the government is withholding reliable poverty statistics despite visible economic activity, raising concerns about transparency. Economic growth update: The IMF says Guyana remains among the world’s fastest-growing economies, citing strong oil and non-oil expansion, lower unemployment, and contained inflation.
