AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Suicide Prevention Push: Health Minister Owen Wells says suicides rose 60% in 2025 (16 deaths, 62 attempts) and 75% of deaths were men, with alarming survey results for boys; the government is moving to bring “safe houses” under the 2022 Mental Health Act, but no opening date is given. Mental Health Services Gap: A World Suicide Prevention Day symposium highlighted that parts of the Mental Health Act are still not in force, with Cabinet approval sought “very shortly” to buy separate facilities for men and women. Hospital Access & Costs: Doctors Hospital plans to cut its emergency room deposit requirement by about one-third after financial losses from unpaid bills, aiming to make urgent care more affordable for Bahamians. West New Providence Hospital Watch: A $285M new 200-bed hospital is still progressing slowly, with residents and political voices questioning impacts and timelines; occupancy is projected for late 2028 to early 2029. Cuban Medical Staff Update: Bahamas has terminated contracts of 31 Cuban specialist teachers, while earlier reporting notes pressure around Cuban medical brigades. Aviation Safety Concern: After the Andros-area crash that killed an American family of four, officials and relatives are calling for stronger follow-through on past safety recommendations. Climate Resilience Funding: CABRIC grants open for Bahamian organisations, with up to US$5M available for locally led projects on Cat Island, Long Island and San Salvador.
