AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Health Funding: Barbados is seeking to unlock about $320 million in savings through a proposed debt swap, with funds earmarked for community care, prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases, and mental health services. The plan also highlights the need to tackle childhood overweight. Medicine Production: A proposed US$32 million partnership with Nigeria and Afreximbank would establish an IV fluids factory in Barbados, with initial capacity of 12 million units a year. Production is targeted for 2029, subject to financing, approvals and construction. Emergency Response: An initiative aims to place 65 defibrillators in public spaces across Barbados. Medicinal Cannabis: Barbados is expanding cannabis research, while industry stakeholders say licensing costs remain a barrier for small farmers.
