AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Food & Medicines Safety: President Adama Barrow commissioned The Gambia’s first modern National Food and Drug Quality Control Laboratory in Brusubi, calling it a major step after the 2022 AKI tragedy and urging stronger checks to keep unsafe food and counterfeit medicines off the market. Health System Accountability: Barrow also linked the lab to fixing weaknesses exposed by the AKI outbreak, framing safe access to medicines as a right. TB Update: The country recorded an 8% drop in TB notifications in 2025 (2,860 in 2024 to 2,627 in 2025), but officials say progress toward End TB targets remains slow. Power & Public Health: The Gambia Democratic Congress raised alarm over the prolonged electricity crisis, while Gamtel reported an internet outage tied to loss of power at the ACE submarine cable station in Sukuta. Tourism Environment & Safety: The Gambia Tourism Board warned illegal developers in the Tourism Development Area to stop unapproved construction, citing coastal erosion and poor sanitation. Public Safety Alert: Crocodiles were reported in Banjul North drainage systems, with residents urged to avoid open drains and supervise children. Regional Health Capacity: The World Bank said a West Africa power programme expanded electricity access to over three million people and supports cross-border power trade—key for health facilities running reliably.
