AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

NHI Expansion: Ambergris Hope Hospital in San Pedro has become an NHI provider for select radiology and lab services, starting Aug. 1—ultrasound, X-ray, and lab tests with same-day results, but patients must get a referral and show a Social Security card. Public Health & Water Safety: Belize’s Ministry of Health responded to concerns about contaminated well water at Kolbe Central Prison, after earlier testing flagged fecal coliform and other issues; officials say potable water is supplied for consumption while well water is used for other purposes, with ongoing monitoring. Diabetes Support: The Belize Diabetes and Hypertension Association is running a Diabetes Warriors Youth Summer Camp (July 27–30) for young people with Type 1 diabetes, focusing on monitoring, treatment routines, and peer support. Medicines Safety Milestone: Belize achieved full membership in the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring (PIDM) with PAHO support, strengthening pharmacovigilance and adverse drug reporting. Climate & Child Health: UNICEF Belize and the government launched a Climate Landscape Analysis for Children Plus report, mapping how climate change and environmental pressures are affecting children and other vulnerable groups and calling for cross-sector action. Animal Health Threat: FAO highlighted the growing risk of New World Screwworm, a parasitic fly that can be deadly for animals and sometimes people, driven by animal movement, informal trade, and gaps in veterinary response. Community Wellness: The BDF Run Club took part in an eco-friendly Roots and Routes 10K trail race at the Belize Botanic Gardens, promoting fitness and reusable, low-waste practices.
