Hospital Network Push: Queen Elizabeth Hospital CEO Neil Clark says Caribbean hospital leaders should stop working in isolation and is aiming to formally launch a regional CEOs network later this year to share management and digital transformation know-how. Cannabis Law Confusion: Ras Simba Akomba Rock and police are both weighing in as Acting Inspector Ryan Brathwaite warns that marijuana possession and smoking in public remain arrestable offences despite reforms—while Ras Simba argues the bigger problem is unclear rules and no clear line between medicinal cannabis and street weed. Ebola Air-Route Caution: Antigua and Barbuda has suspended a planned Air Peace arrival linked to Ebola concerns in parts of Africa, with authorities monitoring before resuming. Water Security Funding: The World Bank approved a $54.7m Barbados programme to cut water losses, expand sanitation, and strengthen water-sector governance. Caregiver Support: A Barbados Council for the Disabled Mental Wellness Day highlighted “caregiver burnout” and the need for breaks and counselling for those looking after family.
