AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Healthy Food Access: A new UN report says nearly 513,000 people in Trinidad and Tobago can’t afford a healthy meal, with undernutrition, stunting, obesity, and anaemia all showing up in the numbers. School Nutrition Push: Health experts are urging prevention to start in childhood as schools strengthen nutrition standards—tightening sugary drinks, portion sizes, and labelling to help curb lifestyle diseases. Community Wellness Events: The YWCA held a health fair with screenings and support for conditions like endometriosis, while a new mental health first-aid training programme is equipping teachers, priests, and pastoral workers to respond to crises amid stretched psychiatric services. Nurses’ Protest Plans: Nurses are considering protests outside ministers’ homes as State of Emergency restrictions limit demonstrations in usual areas. Local Health Policy Agenda: Government’s new parliamentary session includes plans for a medical malpractice court, no-fault compensation, and social media regulation for children under 12. Food Supply Shock: Caribbean hot sauce makers warn of Scotch bonnet shortages and higher prices after hurricanes and crop disease hit pepper supply. Traffic as a Health Issue: A CDB-linked report frames congestion as a public health and development problem, citing major productivity losses for T&T commuters. Environment & Wellness: World Environment Day saw tree-planting and reforestation efforts in Tobago and North Caura, linking nature protection to community health and climate resilience.
