AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Malaria Vaccine Uptake: Cameroon’s RTS,S malaria vaccine is reducing severe illness, but health workers fear low return rates for the fourth booster dose—an issue seen across Africa with multi-dose schedules. HIV Progress & Stigma: A nationwide survey reports HIV prevalence at 2.6% and incidence around 0.15% for ages 15–49, alongside improved viral load suppression; officials urge more testing and stronger stigma-busting to boost prevention and care. Cholera Prevention Push: Cameroon is urged to urgently implement its National Cholera Elimination Plan by 2030, with support for an operational treatment center, surveillance, safer water points, sanitation upgrades, and community risk communication. Refugee Returns Framework: Cameroon, CAR and UNHCR met in Yaounde to finalize a practical timeline for voluntary, safe, dignified, sustainable repatriation of Central African refugees. Health Infrastructure Deal: MINHDU has formalized land transfer for the African Medical Centre of Excellence near Yaounde-Nsimalen Airport, advancing Afreximbank-backed regional healthcare modernization. Security & Care Disruption: In the Far North, a Boko Haram attack on an army outpost left one civilian dead, injured soldiers, and a seriously hurt infant—highlighting ongoing risks to health access in conflict zones. Climate & Water Stress: Lake Chad’s continued receding is flagged as a major environmental and food crisis, with calls for stronger international collaboration—relevant to health through nutrition and displacement pressures. Regional Health Funding Context: UN-backed El Niño resilience funding is highlighted for African countries at high climate-shock risk, including Cameroon, underscoring looming health impacts from extreme weather.
