AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoLocal Health Infrastructure: Montserrat’s Ministry of Health and Social Services has opened a public consultation to help residents and people in the diaspora suggest a name for the island’s new national hospital. Submissions run from Aug 21 to Sept 3, with a naming committee reviewing options and announcing the final choice publicly. The ministry says the name should reflect Montserrat’s identity and be easy to use day to day, avoiding politically divisive or exclusionary picks and any name already used by another hospital or protected as a trademark. Cancer Care Research: New Cambridge research warns that breast cancer referral criteria used in England can miss up to 95% of women under 50 who will develop the disease within 10 years, pointing to the BOADICEA risk tool as a more effective alternative for identifying higher-risk patients. Regional Child Well-Being: OECS, with UNICEF support, launched a Regional Child Policy and Strategic Plan 2026–2032, aiming for a whole-of-the-child approach to protect and advance children’s rights across the sub-region.
