Blood Donation Push: Trinidad and Tobago’s National Blood Donation Drive is underway as the country falls short of the ~40,000 units needed yearly, collecting only about 19,000–20,000; NBTS says donated blood is screened and tracked through haemovigilance, and warns that selling blood is illegal. Hearing Health Partnership: The Ministry of Health signed an MOU with the US-based Starkey Hearing Foundation to expand hearing-health screening, training, and access to hearing-assistive technology, targeting an estimated 8,000 people in T&T who are deaf or hard of hearing. Tobago Airport Ready: ANR Robinson International Airport’s new terminal has been fully certified and commissioned for operations, with safety and environmental approvals and operating manuals handed over for day-to-day management. Community Safety Concerns: A 13-year-old boy was killed and his father and stepmother critically injured in a Marabella home shooting, while another teen died after collapsing in Petit Valley; post-mortems are pending. Local Wellness & Care: UWI Global Campus awarded the Sinnette-Nguyen Scholarship to a student running a mental health support ministry for women.
