AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Rapid PCR upgrade: Saint Lucia has completed installation of a new Molbio rapid PCR testing platform, capable of detecting multiple infectious diseases in under two hours—CARPHA says it can speed up outbreak detection and isolation for threats ranging from COVID-19 and influenza to malaria, TB, and even pandemic-potential viruses. Outbreak watch: Health officials also say the island remains at low risk for hantavirus transmission while monitoring a cruise-linked outbreak tied to the MV Hondius, with no suspected or confirmed cases reported locally. Training for faster detection: During Vaccination Week of the Americas, healthcare workers were trained in syndromic surveillance to spot vaccine-preventable disease signals earlier and report more quickly. Health system capacity boost: LAMAT 2026 wrapped up after treating 1,000+ patients and expanding specialty capability through U.S.-Saint Lucian partnerships, including new pulmonology and emergency response support. Local health pressure: NIC renewed its push against non-communicable diseases ahead of Sneaker Day, citing rising sickness benefit claims. Education incident: The Department of Education is investigating an alleged assault of a Grade Two student by a teacher, with community tensions reported.
