AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Maternal & newborn care training: Angola’s Ministry of Health says a joint Angola–Brazil mission trained 772 professionals over two weeks in Namibe, Huíla and Cunene, aiming to cut neonatal mortality and improve maternal and child care; 305 were trained in Neonatal Resuscitation, 323 in Transport of High-Risk Newborns, 84 traditional midwives joined, and 60 completed Training of Trainers to keep skills in place. Eye health access: In Huambo, Angola’s National Ophthalmological Institute (IONA) and the Ministry of Health delivered free cataract surgery to 514 patients in five days, exceeding the target; 45 complex cases were deferred for specialized treatment in Luanda, while IONA links rising eye disease risk to diabetes, diet, sedentary habits and misuse of electronic devices. Infectious disease R&D push: Island Pharmaceuticals advanced Galidesivir for Marburg Virus Disease by signing a second FDA-directed dose optimisation Statement of Work with Texas Biomed, setting up Animal Rule efficacy work to start in October 2026 and challenge/treatment in January 2027. Healthcare fundraising in Luanda: City Sightseeing Oxford raised funds for a new medical centre in Cacuaco, Luanda, with donations and ticket sales supporting consultation rooms, a maternity ward and a pharmacy for communities far from existing hospitals. Ebola-related deportation concern: Lawyers and deportees report suspected Ebola patients were quarantined in a hotel in Equatorial Guinea alongside migrants deported from the U.S., raising public health alarm despite no confirmed cases reported locally. Food affordability pressure: Shoprite told a commission that fuel and logistics costs drive food prices, arguing rail freight improvements could lower structural logistics costs in the food supply chain. Cyber risk: Check Point reports Angola as the most attacked African country in June, with ransomware activity rising and Angola leading weekly attack volumes per organisation.
