AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Child Health: Barbados’ childhood overweight and obesity rate has risen to 42 per cent, up from 31 per cent in 2017. The Government plans to begin a national NCD screening campaign in schools, while new awards promote healthier school nutrition. Cancer Care: A public health lecture warned that breast cancer remains a major concern, with projections suggesting one in seven women could develop it; specialists stressed the importance of early screening. Medicine Regulation: Barbados is consulting on rules for its planned Medical Products Authority, covering medicine approvals, safety monitoring, licensing and clinical trials. Healthcare Support: China’s embassy says its medical team is helping fill gaps at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital; a Chinese hospital ship treated more than 2,000 Barbadians during a three-day visit last December.
