AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Digital Health Push: Barbados’ Health Services Resilience Programme is moving ahead, but officials say a 2022 review found a fragmented health information system with weak interoperability between QEH, polyclinics, labs and pharmacies—along with gaps in governance, data quality, infrastructure, connectivity, and data protection. QEH Access Changes: Four QEH outpatient clinics—ENT, Neurology, Paediatrics and Dermatology—are relocating from Enmore to George Street, Belleville, starting Sept 7, as part of the Enmore redevelopment. Heat Safety for Schools & Seniors: With temperatures hitting about 33°C, the Ministry of Education is adjusting uniforms and pushing more water intake; BARP is also urging older adults to guard against heat exhaustion, dehydration, heat stroke and fainting. Health System Capacity: QEH expansion planning highlights needs for a new lab, dedicated burn unit, more beds and cancer treatment resources. Public Health Alerts: The Ministry warns residents about smoke exposure from a metal dump fire in Hoytes Village, St James, advising people with asthma to stay indoors. Community Wellness Support: A back-to-school and wellness event provided health checks (including cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and BMI) and breast examinations for women. Local Environment & Health: Water quality has improved in parts of St Lucy, but road complaints near Pie Corner remain. Reparatory Justice: Barbados will host a CARICOM reparations conference Sept 17–19, with public health and education investment among the Ten-Point Plan priorities.
