AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Drug Safety Reform: India has moved cough syrups (and other syrup medicines) off over-the-counter shelves, making a doctor’s prescription mandatory after child deaths linked to contaminated syrups—an issue also reported in Cameroon and other countries. Maternal & Child Health Logistics: UNICEF handed over two high-mobility pick-up trucks to Cameroon’s Ministry of Public Health to reach underserved Adamawa and Far North communities, supporting mobile teams, field clinics, and delivery of therapeutic foods and medical supplies. NCD Prevention Through Food: A Cameroon-based nutrition epidemiologist urges “produce prescription” approaches, pointing to high adult hypertension and diet-linked risks from salty/refined foods and low fruit/vegetable intake. Child Rights & Water: On the Day of the African Child, the Cameroon Human Rights Commission calls for guaranteed access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene, citing big urban-rural gaps and ongoing violence against children. Local Health Infrastructure: MTN’s “21 Days of Y’ello Care” campaign is renovating and equipping Yaoundé’s Djoungolo Hospital maternal ward and plans diagnostic upgrades to cut delays in testing. Sports & Health Access: Cameroon’s Parcours Vita fitness trails management is being transferred to city councils, with the Prime Minister’s office directing monitoring and reporting to improve safe use of public exercise facilities. Fisheries Transparency: Cameroon is among 15 governments signing the Mombasa Declaration to boost transparency and fight illegal fishing—important for food security and public health.
