AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Primary Care Boost: The Ministry of Health and Wellness signed an MOU with the Alliance on Primary Health Care in the Americas, making The Bahamas the 12th country and first CARICOM member state to join, with a consultative mechanism led by the ministry to align investments and technical support around national priorities. NHI Funding Pressure: National Health Insurance Authority CEO Christy Butler says rapid growth has outpaced resources, creating payment challenges, and the agency is moving toward diversified funding while working with providers on payment schedules. Medical Cannabis Next Steps: Health Minister Dr. Michael Darville says the government has secured the Metrc digital platform for seed-to-sale tracking, licensing, and medical e-prescriptions, with the Cannabis Authority set to use it as the industry backbone; recreational cannabis remains prohibited. Elderly Care Needs After Blackouts: After a major New Providence blackout, elderly homes reported hours without electricity and are asking for battery-operated/solar fans and medical supplies like first-aid kits and oxygen masks. Health Access Story: A Grand Bahama man says decades of leg pain ended after total bilateral knee replacement abroad, highlighting ongoing local access and referral gaps. Community & Family Support: Hundreds turned out for Family and Community Day as National Family Week concluded, with the Social Services ministry distributing groceries, school supplies, and other support.
