AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Urology Access Upgrade: Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation is building capacity for HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) after a HoLEP workshop led by Dr. David Bayne, aiming to bring minimally invasive relief for enlarged prostate patients to Guyana. Accreditation & Safer Care: GNBS marked World Accreditation Day, highlighting its role as Guyana’s national accreditation focal point and support for medical labs under ISO standards like ISO 15189:2022 and ISO/IEC 17025. Child Health Push: Mount Sinai’s initiative is expanding school-based child health screenings and broader cardiovascular and cancer services, with leaders calling Guyana’s screening programme “unparalleled” for speed and coverage. Youth Wellness: STRIDE592 launched “Girls on the Move,” combining running, mentorship, and mental health support for girls aged 6–18. Health System Accountability: A committal hearing sent former Ministry of Health drug bond attendant Terrence Williams to High Court for money laundering linked to missing pharmaceutical and COVID-19 testing kits. Budget Equity Debate: A feminist budget analysis says the 2026 national budget’s spending is largely gender-neutral and doesn’t tackle structural inequality, even as petroleum-driven capacity grows. Disease Elimination Update: Minister Dr. Frank Anthony says Guyana is nearing elimination milestones for conditions like lymphatic filariasis and leprosy through the Integrated Disease Elimination Strategy. Sports & Community (Wellbeing Angle): Future Warriors Tapeball continues to spotlight youth sport, while local hockey and other events keep community activity moving.
