Ebola readiness: Barbados’ Chief Medical Officer Kenneth George says every precaution is in place as the DRC outbreak raises regional concern, with Health Minister Lisa Cummins reiterating the Government’s public health focus. Border health: A letter warns that new direct West Africa–Barbados travel could raise Ebola risk unless strong port-of-entry screening and passenger tracking are enforced. Regional health systems: PAHO/WHO and OECS-PPS are convening in Saint Lucia to strengthen access to safe, quality-assured medicines and health technologies across the Eastern Caribbean. Cardiac care leap: Guyana completed a landmark long-distance robotic cardiac tele-surgery, and says it will build a regional robotics training hub for CARICOM partners. NCD prevention push: CARICOM leaders say progress on healthy food policy for non-communicable diseases is still slow, with only a few countries meeting targets so far. Liver health warning: A Barbados doctor links rising fatty liver disease risk to heavy alcohol use and urges regular checkups and blood tests. Maternal health research: A CARPHA conference presentation examines marijuana use during pregnancy and its link to low birth weight. Public safety and health: Barbados medical practitioners warn that gun violence is straining healthcare capacity by pulling focus to trauma care. Community wellness: BARP’s fundraising concert highlights support for vulnerable seniors, tying health and wellbeing to social care.
