AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoMaternal health breakthrough: Seychelles and Eritrea have adopted Abbott’s WHO-prequalified Determine Antenatal Care Panel, a rapid “one visit, one test, three results” finger-prick test that screens pregnant women for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B with results in minutes—aimed at accelerating the WHO “triple elimination” push and reducing preventable infant infections. Public health capacity-building: Seychelles also ran a two-day training workshop to strengthen how the country identifies and manages trade in hazardous chemicals, supported by UNDP under a GEF-funded regional ISLANDS project. Ocean resilience for health and livelihoods: New research presented at the Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa highlights reef areas that may be more climate-resilient, offering hope for coastal food and income systems even as heat stress and El Niño threaten reefs again. Wellness trend (local angle): A growing global focus on “cognitive fitness” is bringing brain-focused programmes into resorts and clinics, including options in Seychelles, targeting brain fog and mental fatigue.
