AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Public Health Update: CARPHA says rapid Molbio PCR testing platforms are now installed across 10 member states, including Barbados, cutting turnaround to under two hours and boosting outbreak detection for threats from influenza and malaria to TB, HIV and even pandemic-potential viruses. Local Health Messaging: Barbados’ Ministry of Health and CARPHA have again pushed back on hantavirus rumours, warning the public not to spread a social media memo about school closures and stressing there’s no confirmed local case. Nursing Spotlight: International Nurses Day coverage continues to praise nurses under pressure, with Barbados’ health leadership pointing to workforce plans and nurse practitioner training to strengthen care. Safety & Care Beyond Clinics: A new “work at height” regulation is expected soon after repeated falls from heights, while a separate regional push targets mosquito-borne disease prevention through school and community source reduction. Community & Crime: Police are investigating a Black Rock shooting that left three injured and one home damaged.
