AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Maternal Health Data Correction: The Health Minister, Dr. Amadou Samateh, told the National Assembly that 2025 maternal mortality figures were misreported due to a data extraction mix-up in DHIS2, with the corrected maternal mortality ratio set at 161.1 deaths per 100,000 live births (and an institutional ratio of 128.8). Mental Health Crisis: A new report warns mental illness affects about 120,000 people nationwide, but nearly 90% receive no formal psychiatric care, with services concentrated at Tanka Tanka Psychiatric Hospital. Ebola Status Update: The Ministry confirms no suspected or confirmed Ebola cases in The Gambia, citing strengthened arrival screening, reactivated Rapid Response Teams, and a working toll-free hotline (1025). Public Health & Safety: India’s move to make cough syrups prescription-only is highlighted amid past contamination deaths linked to syrup products, raising wider concerns about drug quality control. Community Wellness Through Sport: GNOC will mark International Olympic Day 2026 in Farafenni under “You Can Do This! Let’s Move,” encouraging active lifestyles and inclusion. Hospital Support: Kanifing General Hospital received ICT equipment support from Salam Financial Services to improve lab operations and faster, more accurate patient records. Emergency Care for Police: Africmed International Hospital donated a fully equipped ambulance to the Gambia Police Force to boost emergency response capacity.
