AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Cancer Care Update: Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony says Martinique is ready to supply Guyana with radioactive drugs for certain cancers, while local cancer groups also marked World Cancer Survivors Day with “Stories of Strength,” highlighting gaps in awareness, early detection, and access to full care. Drug Supply Crackdown: President Ali warns regional health officers and hospital administrators that bypassing Guyana’s new centralized medical supply system will mean immediate termination, tightening accountability across public procurement. Women’s Health Push: The Ministry says mammography access is expanding beyond Georgetown, with plans to bring breast screening to every region, alongside cervical cancer efforts through HPV vaccination and screening vouchers. Child Health & Safety: A one-year-old boy drowned after wandering from his bed at Cracrana Village, South Pakaraimas; police say he was pronounced dead on arrival at Karasabai Public Hospital. Child Protection Data Gap: Opposition MP Amanza Walton-Desir questions whether state programmes for girls under 16 who became pregnant (584 cases referred to CPA from 2020–2025) can show outcomes, noting the government can’t track how many later gave birth. Life Expectancy Concern: A UNDP report flags Guyana and Haiti as having the shortest life expectancy in the Caribbean, pointing to health system and governance factors. Anti-Bullying Policy: Education Ministry received 1,000+ recommendations for a nationwide anti-bullying and anti-violence policy, including counselling, peer advocates, and stricter consequences for chronic offenders.
