AGP Executive Report

Last update: 26 minutes ago

Measles Response: Belize’s Ministry of Health says it has logged 12 measles cases since the start of 2026, with the latest cluster tied to travel linked to Guatemala and exposure reaching a city primary school; Acting Deputy Director Dr. Laura Friesen reports ring vaccination is nearly complete, at-risk contacts are being isolated, and patients are recovering. Public Safety: Officials stress measles spreads fast and urge unvaccinated people—especially in border communities—to watch for fever and rash and seek care promptly. Healthcare Policy: Cabinet reaffirmed support for Belize’s school-based HPV vaccination programme, while also advancing forest governance changes and a National Digital Agenda. Regional Health Watch: WHO declared the Congo Ebola outbreak a global emergency. Human Interest: Belize also marked a tragic loss after a one-year-old died following a vehicle accident in Orange Walk.
