AGP Executive Report

Last update: 14 hours ago

Neonatal Care Breakthrough: New research reviews show kangaroo mother care started immediately after birth may improve outcomes for premature and low-birth-weight babies, but hospitals still struggle with timing, staffing, monitoring, and family support. Maternal & Newborn Health: The same evidence base highlights why skin-to-skin care plus breastfeeding and follow-up can reduce neonatal deaths and long-term developmental challenges when implemented well. Gambia Health Policy Watch: A major governance debate is resurfacing around The Gambia’s first Special Prosecutor appointment, raising questions about accountability design and local ownership—an issue that can shape how health and rights-related cases are handled. Public Health Risk Alert: The Gambia is on alert as an Ebola outbreak is reported in Central and East Africa, underscoring the need for preparedness and surveillance. Health Funding & Access: The World Bank-backed PEI cash-grant programme in The Gambia targets vulnerable households with training and mentoring to support livelihoods—an indirect but important driver of nutrition and health stability.
