AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoHIV Care: A global survey found more than half of 40 family-planning groups had run short of some HIV medicines or supplies in the past year, amid cuts to US foreign aid. Shortages included HIV tests, condoms and PrEP. Illicit Medicines: A UN report says at least 251 tonnes of medical products were seized across six Central African countries from 2020 to 2025. Cameroon accounted for 96.3 tonnes in 2025. The trade includes diverted, unapproved and counterfeit products, putting patients at risk of failed treatment and poisoning. Blood Supply in Yaoundé: A report highlights chronic shortages at major hospitals, describing how delays in finding compatible blood can put patients with severe bleeding after childbirth at grave risk. Children’s Surgery: A Cameroon study of nearly 200 children treated for neglected clubfoot and other deformities found almost 90% of families were satisfied; many children could walk without pain and return to school. Immunisation: Experts say vaccine gaps reflect practical barriers too, including long journeys to clinics and vaccines being available only on certain days—not just hesitancy.
