AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoMaternal health push: A new “Last Mile” effort led by missionary surgeon Dr. Stephen Foster and Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is targeting Angola’s obstetric fistula crisis ahead of the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula (May 23), using specialized flights to reach women isolated by distance and transport costs—turning days of bush travel into about an hour for care. Public health at the border: In the DRC, Ebola fears are driving hard containment moves: Rwanda has temporarily closed key crossings near Goma after a confirmed case, even as WHO urges countries not to shut borders or restrict travel. Health access under strain: The week also highlights how health systems buckle under shortages and conflict—Ebola response is being slowed by fighting and displacement, while broader regional crises keep care out of reach. Community health support: Locally, Angola-area students and graduates continue to be recognized, and fundraising like Kate’s Kart’s book-giving drive underscores ongoing support for children in hospital settings.
