AGP Executive Report

Last update: 19 minutes ago

Mosquito-borne illness alert: The UK is warning travellers after a rise in chikungunya cases, a mosquito-spread virus that can cause sudden fever and severe joint pain, with most people recovering within about two weeks but some suffering lingering pain for months or years; the BMJ reports 2025 infections were linked to travel, while the US CDC confirms active chikungunya outbreaks in Bolivia, Costa Rica, French Guiana, Mauritius, Seychelles and Suriname, and flags elevated exposure risk in Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines and Thailand; health guidance includes using repellent with DEET or picaridin and wearing loose, light-coloured clothing that covers arms and legs. Addiction care cooperation: Seychelles’ President Patrick Herminie visited Reunion Island’s University Hospital addiction unit to discuss prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and family support, reaffirming the two islands’ health partnership and plans to share expertise on addiction issues. Telecoms and access: Seychelles has opened its telecommunications market to Starlink, bringing satellite broadband to households and businesses and adding a new competitor as the country pushes digital transformation under a regulatory framework. Regional medicines procurement gap: A report highlights SADC’s “medical procurement paradox,” where slow rollout of a regional pooled purchasing system for pharmaceuticals and medical supplies leaves hospitals and clinics facing shortages despite large spending. Public health travel context: Separate travel advisories and outbreak updates continue to circulate internationally for chikungunya hotspots, reinforcing the need for mosquito bite protection for travellers heading to affected areas.
