AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

WHO Updates: At the 79th World Health Assembly, WHO’s Director-General reported on global health work and highlighted Suriname’s malaria elimination achievement, alongside other country certificates for diseases like trachoma, leprosy, and HIV/HBV/syphilis mother-to-child transmission. The Assembly also agreed to keep negotiating the Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing (PABS) Annex for the WHO Pandemic Agreement. Public Health & Safety: In Guyana, a fatal crash on the Craig Public Road killed a 61-year-old electric cycle rider after a collision with a motor lorry; emergency care was provided and the case is under investigation. Violence & Health Impact: In Guyana’s courts, “Iswe” (Shaquawn Alleyne) was sentenced to 25 years for the 2021 murder of his girlfriend, with the judge citing failures to seek medical help and aggravating factors tied to intimate partner violence. Wildlife & Disease Risk: A report warns that sophisticated wildlife trafficking networks are moving endangered golden lion tamarins from Brazil via routes including Suriname, raising concerns for animal welfare and public health spillover. Food & Agriculture Policy: Commentary argues Suriname should be cautious about promises from foreign agribusiness, urging stronger food security, support for local producers, and better protection of rivers and forests.
